Noah Baumbach has announced the cast for his upcoming film, with Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, and Riley Keough joining the project. Dern, who previously worked with Baumbach on the award-winning film Marriage Story, will reunite with the filmmaker for this untitled project. The trio will be starring alongside Adam Sandler and George Clooney, with Baumbach and Emily Mortimer penning the screenplay.
The plot of the film is being kept under wraps, but the logline describes it as a funny and emotional coming-of-age story about adults. Baumbach will also serve as a producer on the film, along with Amy Pascal and David Heyman, who previously collaborated with him on Marriage Story and Barbie.
This marks Baumbach's fourth feature for Netflix, following the success of White Noise, Marriage Story, and The Meyerowitz Stories. Marriage Story received critical acclaim and garnered six Oscar nominations, including a nod for best picture. Baumbach's recent project, Barbie, co-written with Greta Gerwig, has been a box office hit, grossing over $1.44 billion globally.
Laura Dern, known for her versatile performances, has a busy schedule ahead with projects like the Apple series Palm Royale and the Netflix romance Lonely Planet. On the other hand, Riley Keough, who gained recognition for her role in the Amazon series Daisy Jones and the Six, is set to showcase her talent in Sasquatch Sunset, premiering at SXSW before its theatrical release. Billy Crudup, most recently seen in the Apple series The Morning Show, adds his talent to the star-studded cast.
The collaboration of these talented actors and filmmakers promises an exciting and compelling cinematic experience for audiences to look forward to.
