Comedy icons Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, celebrated for their work on 'Strangers With Candy,' are embarking on their next cinematic venture. They are set to create a modern reimagining of Roger Corman's 1959 sci-fi horror classic, 'The Wasp Woman.' Dinello is penning the script and will direct, while Sedaris is slated to star as the titular character.
The new film will follow the original storyline, focusing on Janice Starlin, the founder of a cosmetics firm. Driven by a desire to combat aging, she experiments with novel enzymes derived from queen wasps. These ambitious attempts, however, result in unforeseen and perilous outcomes.
This collaboration marks a significant reunion for Sedaris and Dinello, who also co-created Sedaris's successful satire 'At Home with Amy Sedaris.' Their shared history dates back to their early days at Second City in Chicago, where they first met Stephen Colbert.
