Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick will star in a movie for the first time in two decades, Deadline reported. The movie named ‘Connescence’ will be written and directed by the creator of ‘The King of Queens’ Michael J Weithorn.
In the movie ‘Connescence’, Bacon will be playing the role of Stan Olszewski, a sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard, who breaks up an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia Rand (Sedgwick), a successful urologist married to brilliant former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch).
This encounter fosters a dynamic friendship between the two as they share late-night text sessions filled with humor and intimate revelations before their relationship grows into something big that rattles the foundation of both their lives.
Bacon and Sedgwick married in 1988 and have two children, including actor Sosie Bacon. The husband-and-wife duo last worked together in 2004, starring in both ‘Cavedweller’ and ‘The Woodsman’.
Since then, Bacon has since directed Sedgwick in ‘Loverboy’ and Sedgwick directed Bacon in ‘Space Oddity’, while the pair have scooped numerous gongs for roles in the likes of ‘The Closer’ and ‘Taking Chance’.
Talking about the project, both Sedgwick and Bacon said: “We are so excited to work together on screen again for the first time in 20 years in such a funny, moving and original script.”
Across his plus-40-year career, Weithorn has mainly directed small screen projects such as CBS’ ‘The King of Queens’. Other credits include ‘The Goldbergs’, ‘Weird Loners’ and ‘Schooled’.
