Pete Davidson, Franz Rogowski, Naomi Scott and Sean Harris have been tapped to star in Wizards!, an upcoming film from Australian writer-director David Michôd that reteams A24 and Plan B Entertainment.
According to Deadline, the film follows two hapless pothead beach-bar operators (Davidson and Rogowski) who run into trouble when they stumble across stolen loot that they really should have just left alone. Director Michôd penned the script, which is based on a story by Joel Edgerton and Michôd. Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B will produce alongside Liz Watts. A24 will handle the global release of the film, which will be shot in Queensland.
Wizards! marks the fourth collaboration between A24 and Plan B Entertainment following films as Moonlight, Minari and The Last Black Man in San Francisco. This is Plan B Entertainment’s third collaboration with Michôd after War Machine and The King. Wizards! will also reteam Michôd and Watts with A24 for the first time since 2014’s The Rover. Watts recently joined See-Saw Films through which she will be producing the film.
