Kristen Stewart (Love Lies Bleeding) and Alia Shawkat (Blink Twice) are starring in The Wrong Girls, the directorial debut of Dylan Meyer (Moxie). The feature, a Neon production, is currently filming in Los Angeles. The work marks one of the first indie productions to kick off following the devastating wildfires that ravaged the city.
Written and directed by Meyer, the film follows Frankie (Stewart) and Molly (Shawkat), codependent best friends who live paycheck to paycheck and bong rip to bong rip, when a case of mistaken identity throws their lives into utter chaos.
Co-starring Seth Rogan, Kumail Nanjiani, LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, and Tony Hale, Neon will release the film in the US and represent international rights.
The Wrong Girls marks the third collaboration between Neon and Stewart. The other two are Pablo Larrain's Spencer and David Cronenberg's Cannes selection, Crimes of the Future. Spencer garnered the actress her first Oscar nomination as many praised her turn as Princess Diana. She can next be seen in Michael Angarano's road trip comedy Sacramento.
Shawkwat recently starred in Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut Blink Twice and the second season of Apple TV+'s Severance. Last month, she garnered praise for her work in the buzzy Sundance drama Atropia, which received the festival's US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize.
