Miles Teller to Star in Wild Fantastical Comedy POSSUM SONG From SING SING Filmmaker Greg Kwedar — GeekTyrant
Miles Teller is stepping into some strange and hilarious new territory. The Top Gun: Maverick and Whiplash star will headline Possum Song , a fantastical comedy from Sing Sing writer and director Greg Kwedar. The film comes from a script by Isaac Adamson and is being produced by FilmNation Entertainment and Ethos, the new production company from Kwedar and longtime collaborator Clint Bentley. Teller will play Eddie in the story, 'an overconfident Nashville star who is hiding a dark secret: He stole the songs for his hit debut album. Now, with a new wife and a baby on the way, Eddie must write his follow-up solo or risk losing everything. 'But just when things seem most hopeless, Eddie discovers a musical genius in the form of a magical possum with whom he strikes a dangerous Faustian bargain.' 'This is a one-of-a-kind film. Greg's vision, Isaac's hilarious script and the magnetic performance of Miles Teller will create the kind of cinematic ride that audiences are craving — with showstopping music, visceral shocks, possums, humor and emotion,' said Ben Browning, FilmNation Entertainment's President of Motion Pictures. This is an interesting and unique genre mashup that sounds like a great project for Teller, who's recently been flexing his range with everything from high-octane blockbusters to gritty dramas. He just starred in Apple's The Gorge , and he's already wrapped work on A24's Eternity where he stars opposite Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner, and Lionsgate's Michael Jackson biopic Michael . Teller and Lee Stobby will also serve as producers on Possum Song . Source: Deadline
