Kristen Stewart is back with another potential fan-favorite outing as Deadline reports the actress will star in Sacramento alongside Michael Angarano (This Is Us), Michael Cera (Juno), and Maya Erskine (Pen15). Angarano will helm the film from a script he co-wrote with Chris Smith.
Sacramento follows Rickey (Angarano), an energetic and free-spirited young man, and Glenn (Cera), his long-time friend who’s settled into domestic life. On an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento, their past comes into focus, and questions their future. Erskine will play Rickey’s wife, Tallie, and Stewart is Glenn’s wife, Rosie.
Per Deadline, Stewart will join other new castings AJ Mendez (Blade Of The 47 Ronin), Iman Karram (Daft State), and Rosalind Chao (Mulan). The outlet notes, “Mendez and Karram will play best friends and ex-professional fighters who help teach Rickey and Glenn about their own relationship.”
In a statement to Deadline, Angarano says, “We feel grateful and very excited to make a movie like Sacramento. Chris Smith and I started writing this film years ago after a pilot of ours didn’t get picked up. We’re honored to be working with this wildly talented cast and crew led by Stephen at Bee-Hive, who is not only a great partner but a true collaborator. It’s already been quite a journey, but we’re finally ready to go make a movie.”
Kristen Stewart recently entered post-production on A24’s Love Lies Bleeding and will begin pre-production on the biopic Sontag.
Michael Angarano’s Sacramento will shoot this spring.
