DEADLINE – Searchlight and Makeready are partnering on the new feature film satire Not Okay, setting Quinn Shephard to direct and tapping Zoey Deutch to star. Shephard also penned the script to the film which is set to start production this summer in New York. The film will be released exclusively on Hulu.In the pic, a misguided young woman (Deutch), desperate for friends and fame, fakes a trip to Paris to up her social media presence. When a terrifying incident takes place in the real world and becomes part of her imaginary trip, her white lie becomes a moral quandary that offers her all the attention she’s wanted.
Zoey Deutch and her mom Lea Thompson are starring in the Audible special A Total Switch Show, here is the synopsis below:
A Total Switch Show is an outrageous comedy starring real-life mother and daughter Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) and Zoey Deutch (The Politician) playing a mother and daughter who switch bodies. This NSFW nod to classic films like Freaky Friday gets extra freaky twist after twist, episode after episode. And it boasts an all-star cast, featuring Bradley Whitford, Giancarlo Esposito, Bobby Moynihan, Judy Greer, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Sasheer Zamata, Mitra Jouhari, and more.
Gripped by a global body-swap phenomenon, Emma (Deutch), a go-nowhere daughter, and Lisa (Thompson), a micro-managing mom, wake one morning to see they’ve switched bodies. Already at each other’s throats, this dysfunctional duo desperately tries to find their way back into their own bodies.
I added behind the scenes pictures from the recording as well as a promotional picture. Madelyn Deutch also photographed the pair for InStyle magazine, enjoy!

The film follows Leonard (Rylance), an English tailor who used to craft suits on London’s world-famous Savile Row.

DEADLINE – Searchlight has acquired the rights to the package Hound with Set It Up‘s Zoey Deutch attached to star. Lisa Duva penned the script and Deutch will also produce.
The story follows a timid dog-groomer, Callie (Deutch), who after being bitten by a mysterious stray dog, she’s forced to wrestle with dark, new desires as her body goes through unexpected changes. Insiders say the package came together quickly after Deutch came across the script on the Purple List, NYU’s Black-List inspired list. She quickly fell in love with it and approached Duva about being a part of the project. The two were immediately into the idea of working together and the package was instantly put together. Once the package was on the market, Searchlight was quick to purchase.
