Sabrina Carpenter, RJ Cyler Star In ‘Emergency’ Comedy From Amazon Studios & Temple Hill

EXCLUSIVE: Sabrina Carpenter, RJ Cyler, Donald Elise Watkins, and Sebastian Chacon have been tapped to star in Emergency, a comedy thriller that hails from Amazon Studios and Temple Hill. Filming is currently underway with Carey Williams directing the film from the screenplay by KD Dávila, which landed on the 2020 Blacklist.

The pic is based on a short film of the same title. The short picked up the Special Jury Prize at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at 2018’s SXSW Film Festival.

Cyler will play Sean, a college senior ready to embark on a night of partying with his best friend Kunle (Watkins) and roommate Carlos (Chacon). As they return to their apartment to pre-game, they discover a semi-conscious white girl they don’t know on the floor. Kunle wants to call the cops but Sean vehemently opposes the idea concerned how it will look when the cops show up.

Together, Carlos, Sean and Kunle load the girl into Sean’s van, with the intention of taking her somewhere safe rather than calling the police. Meanwhile, Maddy (Carpenter) has realized that her sister Emma left the party they were at and begins to search for her in a drunk panic using Emma’s phone’s location. What ensues is a chaotic, hilarious, and tension-filled chase all over town as our trio grapples with their differences while attempting to bring Emma to safety.

Maddie Nichols (A Murder to Remember), Madison Thompson (Ozark), Diego Abraham, and Melanie Jeffcoat round out the cast.

Williams and Dávila will serve as executive producers.

“When we made the short film, we didn’t anticipate quite how much it would resonate with people,” said Dávila. “It walked a fine tonal tightrope between comedy and thriller, and touched on the culture of fear in BIPOC communities regarding the police. I’m so glad we have the opportunity to tell a bigger version of the story, and extremely fortunate to have found a team that embraced our vision.”

Said Williams, “It’s an honor to collaborate with Temple Hill, Amazon Studios and the entire creative team of Emergency on such a deeply moving story. I’m thrilled to bring a cinematic exploration of the struggle of young people of color that broadens the type of narrative in this space that audiences have grown accustomed to seeing.”

Sabrina Carpenter, Ava Michelle & More Begin Production On ‘Tall Girl 2’!

Tall Girl 2 is officially starting!

Star Ava Michelle shared a cute video marking the start of production, and revealing who’s all returning for the Netflix sequel.

Sabrina Carpenter, Griffin Gluck, Luke Eisner, Anjelika Washington, Rico Paris, Clara Wilsey, Steve Zahn and Angela Kinsey will all be back.

New to the cast include Johanna Liauw and Jan Luis Castellanos.

Plot details have not yet been revealed. Check out the synopsis for the first film, released in 2019: Jodi (Michelle) has always been the tallest girl in school — and she’s always been uncomfortable with it. After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig (Eisner), a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who’s even taller than she is.

Jodi’s new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle, but with the help of her two best friends (Gluck, Washington) as well as her beauty queen sister Harper (Carpenter), Jodi comes to realize that she’s far more than her insecurities about her appearance have led her to believe.

Sabrina Carpenter: I Don’t ‘Give A Cow’ If My Music Career Fails – As I’m A Legend By Relation

Sabrina Carpenter doesn’t “give a cow” if her music career fails – as she’s a “legend” anyway.

The ‘On My Way’ hitmaker’s aunt is Nancy Cartwright – who voices the character of Bart Simpson on ‘The Simpsons’ – and Sabrina has quipped that she is a legend anyway “by relation” so even if her music didn’t quite work out how she planned, she’d always have the famous link.

Speaking to Capital FM about her famous relative, she said: “By relation, I am also a legend. My whole life, that was the coolest thing in the world to me. I wasn’t even allowed to watch the show until I was a little bit older. It was always really cool growing up when she would pull out the Bart voice when we were at a restaurant and we couldn’t get a table or something.”

Meanwhile, Sabrina previously revealed it can take her just three hours to write songs sometimes.

Speaking about the process, she said: “We sit in a room, bang on instruments, and then we just talk. At some point, a song is made in 12 hours – sometimes in less, like three hours.”

As well as a single, Sabrina is also an actress and has starred in a series of Netflix shows as well as on Broadway, where she appeared in the stage adaptation of ‘Mean Girls’ but as well as all her other projects, she has vowed to continue with music and promises more is on its way.

She said: “Having Short History out right now is surreal because it’s a project that’s been a little baby of mine for so long. My fans haven’t seen this side of me, which is really, really exciting. I have Work It on Netflix coming out this summer. And then Clouds which is going to be out on Disney Plus this fall. Both projects I’m in love with and excited for everyone to see. And then I guess, more and more music coming your way. But also I’m just going to be sitting in bed and sleeping as much as I can until this is over.”
