Relative newcomers Ashleigh Murray (“Younger”) and Rachel Crow (“Fred: The Show”) will star in the Netflix caper comedy flick “Deidra & Laney Rob a Train,” Shadow and Act reports.
The movie will be directed by Sydney Freeland, marking her second feature film after “Drunktown’s Finest” which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
The comedy will follow “two teenage girls who start robbing trains to make ends meet after their mom goes to jail.”
“Saturday Night Live’s” Sasheer Zamata, Danielle Nicolet, Tim Blake Nelson, David Sullivan, and Arturo Castro will co-star.
The film is one of six of the recently approved projects for the Utah Film Commission. According to S&A, “These six new projects alone will spend an estimated combined total of $10,181,951 in the state of Utah along with employing 113 cast, 365 crew, and 1,111 extras with a large percentage of these jobs going to Utah locals.”
