Lionsgate has announced development on a brand new female-led comedy film titled Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, co-written by Academy Award-nominated writing duo Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids).
Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar will follow the story of best friends Barb (Wiig) and Star (Mumolo), who will both leave their small Midwestern town for the first time to go on vacation in Vista Del Mar, Florida, where they soon find themselves tangled up in a villain’s evil plot to kill everyone in town.
Set to debut next year in 2020, the film will also be led by Wiig and Mumolo as the film’s titular lead characters.
Jessica Elbaum’s female-focused production company Gloria Sanchez Productions is set to produce the project together with Wiig and Mumolo.
