While we wait for Lulu Wilson’s return as a teenage Nazi-slayer in The Wrath of Becky, Deadline reports today that Wilson will also be starring in the upcoming film Xeno.
Omari Hardwick (Power) and Trae Romano (Stargirl) are also on board. Matthew Loren Oates (Farewell Bender) wrote the script and is directing Xeno.
In the film, “a teenage girl befriends a terrifying alien that crash-lands in the desert near her home. As government agents close in, the girl protects her dangerous new companion while also dealing with her depressed mother and the mother’s abusive boyfriend.”
Kevin Hart, Bryan Smiley and Luke Kelly-Clyne will produce for Hartbeat, alongside Oates and Shana Marie, with Thai Randolph, Kevin Healey and Ty Walker exec producing for Hartbeat.
Deadline also notes that The Henson Company will build the film’s alien creature!
Lulu Wilson got her own John Wick with the Becky franchise and now it sounds like she’s getting her own E.T. We’re especially intrigued by the promise of a “terrifying” alien…
