Even though they started their film careers with a shiva, it looks like Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott have officially been christened in Hollywood.
Fresh off the opening weekend for Shiva Baby, which Sennott starred in and Seligman wrote and directed, the pair are now set to co-write the upcoming sex comedy Bottoms for MGM’s Orion Pictures. Seligman will once again direct with Sennott starring while Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman will produce through their production company, Brownstone Productions.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bottoms will center on “two unpopular queer girls who start a fight club to have sex before their high school graduation.” The whole project gives off a To-Do List meets Superbad vibe, and if Shiva Baby is any indicator, the film will be filled with perfectly timed cringe.
