Kristen Stewart (Spencer), Michael Angarano (This Is Us), Michael Cera (Juno), and Maya Erskine (Pen15) are all set to star a new road-trip comedy titled Sacramento. Angarano is directing the movie, from a script he co-wrote with Chris Smith, and it’s set to start shooting this spring.
The story for the film 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 will take on the role of Glenn’s wife, Rosie. Other cast members include wrestler-turned-author and screenwriter AJ Mendez (Blade Of The 47 Ronin), Iman Karram (Daft State) and Rosalind Chao (Mulan). Mendez and Karam “will play best friends and ex-professional fighters who help teach Rickey and Glenn about their own relationship.”
Angarano said in a statement: “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.”
Angarano and Stewart previously starred together in the 2004 drama Speak. Angarano will next play Robert Serber, in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and he also stars in Kevin Costner’s Western Horizon. Stewart has recently finished production on the A24 thriller Love Lies Bleeding. Cera currently stars opposite Amy Schumer in Hulu series Life & Beth and will next be seen in Warner Bros’ Barbie.
