Actress Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, House) is set to make her directorial debut Booksmart, which is being produced by Annapurna Pictures and Gloria Sanchez, the female-focussed division of Gary Sanchez Productions.
Variety reports that Kaitlyn Dever (Justified) and Beanie Feldstein (Lady Bird) will star in the film as two academic superstars and best friends who realise on the eve of their high school graduation that they should have worked less and played more, and set out to cram four years of fun into a single night.
Booksmart has been written by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins, with revisions by Susanna Fogel and Katie Silberman. Chelsea Barnard, David Distenfeld, and Megan Ellison are producing for Annapurna Pictures, with Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay producing for Gloria Sanchez.
