Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat are teaming up for a chaotic new movie!
Neon has shared the first photos from The Wrong Girls, the upcoming film written and directed by Kristen‘s wife, Dylan Meyer. The stills tease a trippy, offbeat story, with Kristen and Alia appearing together in several tense and messy moments, including one shot of the pair crouched near a glowing briefcase.
The movie follows “two codependent best friends living paycheck to paycheck and bong rip to bong rip get caught in a case of mistaken identity that throws their lives into chaos.”
Dylan opened up about the story to Entertainment Weekly, explaining, “Frankie and Molly are codependent boneheads who have spent the last 10 years blissfully in a fog of weed smoke, co-signing each others’ bad choices and screening adulthood’s increasingly insistent calls.”
Molly’s (Alia Shawkat) boyfriend asks her to move in just as Frankie (Kristen Stewart) accidentally ends up with “a briefcase full of glowing vials of an experimental psychedelic.”
The movie also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate McKinnon, Tony Hale, and Geena Davis.
Dylan said the movie was inspired by her own bond with her best friend and producing partner Maggie McLean, calling it “a love letter to wayward chaotic women and the essential platonic partnerships that prop them up.”
The Wrong Girls will be released in theaters on August 14, 2026.
Earlier this year, Kristen shared her thoughts on a potential Twilight remake!
