EXCLUSIVE: Here’s some fun casting. The Naked Gun star Pamela Anderson is teaming up with pop icon Debbie Harry on comedy Maitreya, which is launching at the Cannes market.
Sound Of Metal outfit Caviar is behind the movie, which will follow “Maitreya (Anderson), a rising star in the New Age Healing community who is about to head off to a conference in India when she receives a call from her estranged sister, Monica: their father is dying. Rather than stay home with him, Maitreya decides to bring her entire family – including her mother Barbara (Harry) – to the conference and put her New Age healing theories to the test (all while surreptitiously gathering material for her next book).” Related Stories News Yeon Sang-ho's Cannes Midnight Title 'Colony' Passes 3 Million Admissions On Korean Release News Neon Boss Tom Quinn Isn't A Fan Of Industry Consolidation: "How Would You Feel If A24 & Neon Merged?
