Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Yasmin Kassim (You, Always) and Booboo Stewart (Twilight) are attached to star in Pipe Cleaner Boy, a female-led road trip comedy written and directed by Anna Rose Moore.
The movie will follow Rachel (Breslin), “whose carefully ordered life implodes after she catches her fiancé cheating and loses her job. Convinced it’s karmic payback, she sets off on a cross-country road trip with her free-spirited best friend, Leeza (Kassim), to track down a boy from her past and make amends.”
Production is scheduled to start in October in Oklahoma City.
Brynn Lucas (Bringing Back Young Justice), Charles Papert (Key & Peele) and Mark Myers of Citizen Skull (HBO’s Streetgang) are producing the film, in association with Cris Cordero’s Paravox (Dream Baby Dream). Casting is being handled by Ricki Maslar.
Moore most recently penned the upcoming comedy feature Adulting for BuzzFeed Studios, starring Leighton Meester, Tyler Posey and Sherry Cola and directed by Maureen Bharoocha. Pipe Cleaner Boy will serve as her feature directorial debut, with Charles Papert (Key & Peele) serving as cinematographer.
“There is a specific sweet spot for a film like Pipe Cleaner Boy,” said producer Brynn Lucas. “A cast that is trusted and loved by audiences, a female-led team pushing the envelope for fresh voices in both directing and producing, and a script that deeply resonates with Gen Z. Anna Rose’s script is funny, irreverent, and captures what it feels like to be a young woman suddenly unsure if she’s been climbing the right ladder.”
