"Snow White", "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snake" and "West Side Story" star Rachel Zegler is set to star alongside Marisa Tomei in the dramedy "She Gets It From Me". The film is directed by Julia von Heinz, best known for helming "Treasure" and Germany's 2021 Oscar submission "And Tomorrow the Entire World", from a script by Jay Reiss (Tony Award winning "The Twenty Fifth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", "The Oranges").
Based on a true story, the film follows Nicky (Zegler), whose engagement celebration turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker birth mother, Charlotte (Tomei). Together, the two embark on an anarchic mother-and-daughter journey to reconnect. As per the official synopsis, "YouTube is packed with tearful family reunions, but nobody films the messy aftermath".
3311 Productions ("The Assistant", "Brigsby Bear", "Table 19") produces in partnership with Anna Werner for Seven Elephants ("And Tomorrow the Entire World", "Sun and Concrete", "Treasure") and Reiss. Embankment Films handles international sales with CAA representing U.S. rights, and will be launching global pre-sales in Cannes.
Von Heinz said the following: "The emotional truth of the movie, reflecting parts of all our lives, is truly funny, immersive cinema. Jay's screenplay captures family dynamics at their most authentic: absurd yet profound, messy yet meaningful. The collision of two worlds creates comedy that cuts deep because it's so honest."
Producer Jen Dana from 3311 added: "Rachel always brings a brilliant depth and humanity to her roles, and we are so excited for her to continue to showcase her versatility and humor as an actress."
Zegler is set to make her West End debut in "Evita" at the London Palladium.
