Best Sellers is directed by Lina Roessler in her feature directorial debut from a screenplay written by award-winning scribe Anthony Grieco. The film will be led by Aubrey Plaza (Ingrid Goes West), Michael Caine (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Ellen Wong (GLOW), and Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride). This project also marks the reunion between Plaza and Wong after previously starring in Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
“Lucy Standbridge (Aubrey Plaza) has inherited her father’s publishing house, and the ambitious would-be editor has nearly sunk it with failing titles,” reads the official synopsis. “She discovers she is owed a book by Harris Shaw (Michael Caine), a reclusive, cantankerous, booze-addled author who originally put the company on the map decades earlier. In a last-ditch effort to save the company, Lucy and Harris release his new book and embark on a book tour from hell that changes them both in ways they didn’t expect.”
