deadline.comRebel Wilson is set to direct her first feature, The Deb, a musical set in Australia “that brings the bush into the city.” The Deb was written by Hannah Reilly and Meg Washington based on a stage show that Wilson championed when it premiered at Sydney’s Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) in 2022.
Wilson revealed that she also will co-star in the film and told us that two songs not used in the stage production will be featured in the film.
Amanda Ghost, Len Blavatnik and Gregor Cameron are producing through their company Unigram (Tetris) and sister company AI Film (I, Tonya, Hacksaw Ridge).
