OKAY, HI. Are you sitting down? You higher be, as a result of I am about to drop some MAAAAJOR information. If you happen to’re a fan of a) films, b) ’90s music stars, or c) Canadian popular culture — or all 3, like me — you are gonna wanna hear this.Principally, a brand new romcom is now in manufacturing, and the story is so good, I would really begin sobbing. The movie is known as Mile Finish Kicks and it stars none aside from Barbie Ferreira — you may know her from Euphoria. It additionally stars Devon Bostick (who was in Oppenheimer and Diary of a Wimpy Child), Stanley Simons, and Juliette Gariépy.So, what is the plot? Effectively, it is not simply any ol’ romcom, I am going to inform you that. Mile Finish Kicks is a couple of music critic who will get romantically concerned with two performers in a struggling rock band (a love triangle of kinds, I presume). And issues get an entire lot extra sophisticated, as a result of she finally ends up being stated band’s publicist. SCANDAL.And hearken to this: it is set in none aside from Montreal, Canada, which is the place it is at present being filmed. This brings me to the subsequent (and a very powerful) half……a serious side of the plot entails a Canadian-born singer who’s so iconic, she has most undoubtedly modified hundreds of thousands of lives. Within the film, the publicist needs to write down a guide about stated singer, which is how she matches into the plot.Okay, I’ve executed sufficient stalling, so I am going to simply inform you: it is Alanis Morisette!Now, we’re undecided how a lot the film will really revolve round Alanis — and I am guessing she most likely will not be IN the film (though I am dreaming of a cameo, no less than). However STILL. There will certainly be a lot of love for Alanis and good vibes within the movie, and that is the perfect present we are able to get.In addition to, the film has a killer manufacturing crew (which really consists of Barbie Ferreira!), so we all know it’s going to be nice. It was directed and written by Chandler Levack, who additionally directed I Like Films (and clearly she is aware of what she’s doing, as a result of if you have not seen it, that movie received an ideal rating on Rotten Tomatoes).So yeah, it is all going to be very cute and really Canadian. Let me simply set the scene for you: are you able to think about listening to a Mac DeMarco or Arcade Hearth music within the background of a romcom set in Montreal??? It sounds magical. Like an exquisite Canadian dream.Though the film is at present solely within the early levels of manufacturing, I am going to preserve my eyes peeled for updates, and I am additionally praying for a killer, Canadian soundtrack.If you happen to’ve received any ideas concerning the film, or any songs you need to see on the soundtrack, let me know within the feedback beneath!
