Stewart & Shawkat's Stoner Crime Odyssey

Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat are teaming up for "The Wrong Girls," a new stoner crime comedy written and directed by Dylan Meyer. The film, which begins shooting in two weeks, promises an original take on the genre, drawing inspiration from classic stoner and crime comedies while focusing on a female perspective. Stewart has expressed significant enthusiasm for the project, which she has been developing for years.

Set in Los Angeles, "The Wrong Girls" features a star-studded ensemble cast including Lakeith Stanfield, Tony Hale, Zack Fox, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate McKinnon, and Geena Davis. The film aims to be both an homage to Hollywood's tradition of weed-fueled hangout movies and crime comedies, and something wholly original. Neon is set to release "The Wrong Girls" in theaters on Friday, August 14.
