By: Macon Prickett Jul. 03, 2018
According to Variety, Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges and Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown are in negotiations to star in A24's "Waves," which will be Trey Edward Shults' follow-up to "It Comes at Night".
Shults wrote and will direct the film, which starts production in Florida next month, with the remaining stars being cast now.
Described as a dramatic musical with a fresh spin, the pic is an energetic, affecting anthem of contemporary teenage life. The movie follows two young couples as they navigate the emotional minefield of growing up and falling in love.
The film will be almost entirely synchronized to music, mixing some iconic contemporary songs alongside an original score by Academy Award winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross."Waves" will be produced by Kevin Turen and Jim Wilson.
The pic marks the third collaboration for Shults and A24, who previously worked together on "It Comes at Night" and "Krisha."
Hedges has played supporting roles in Wes Anderson's comedy-drama Moonrise Kingdom (2012), the crime biopic Kill the Messenger (2014), the coming-of-age film Lady Bird (2017), and the crime film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017). He received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing a sardonic teenage orphan in Kenneth Lonergan's drama Manchester by the Sea (2016).
Brown recently starred in the FX drama The People v. O. J. Simpson: AMERICAN CRIME Story, for which he won a Primetime Emmy Award. He currently stars as Randall Pearson on the NBC drama This Is Us. The role garnered Brown his second Emmy award, in 2017, for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama, as well as his first SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
