Kristen Stewart, Dylan Meyer & Alia Shawkat Talk The Wrong Girls' Wild Drug Trip & Getting Weird
The stoner comedy follows two best friends using squid-based drugs to read minds and talk to their cats, with Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat starring.
- The Wrong Girls opens in theaters today, marking writer-director Dylan Meyer's feature directorial debut. The stoner comedy stars Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat as codependent best friends navigating Los Angeles after consuming experimental squid-derived drugs that grant them telepathic abilities.
- Writer-Director Meyer conceived the concept 14 years ago to address the lack of women in traditional buddy-stoner movies. She aimed to create a queer-femme version of the genre while ensuring the film maintained an authentic Los Angeles identity.
- Stewart stars alongside Shawkat, supported by an ensemble cast including Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani. The production qualified for the California Film & TV Tax Credit, allowing the team to film on location and capture the city's unique weed culture.
- The team emphasized the film's focus on chosen family and intimate female friendships, with Stewart noting it feels 'really validating' to portray such relationships. The production offers a 'really necessary' upbeat narrative amid current global challenges.
- Meyer noted potential for a sequel, drawing inspiration from franchises like Cheech & Chong, adding there is 'room in this material' to build out the universe as the characters gain telepathic superpowers. The film positions stoner comedy as a vehicle for queer storytelling.
