Alicia Silverstone to Topline Amy Miller Gross’ “The Pleasure of Your Presence”

Silverstone in "American Woman"

Alicia Silverstone will star in and exec produce “The Pleasure of Your Presence,” Deadline confirms. The pic marks Amy Miller Gross’ follow-up to her first feature, “Accommodations,” which screened earlier this year at deadCenter Film Festival.

Hailing from Gross’ production company, Mandorla Productions, the story is set in the Hamptons and centers on a woman (Silverstone) determined to stop her brother (Jake Hoffman, “The Wolf of Wall Street”) from getting married to a young French woman (Mathilde Ollivier, “Overlord”).

“American Woman,” “Book Club,” and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” are among Silverstone’s recent credits. Paramount is currently working on a remake of her most beloved film, 1995’s “Clueless.”

In addition to her industry background, Gross has worked as a clinical social worker. She “worked at the Jewish Guild of the Blind as a therapist for blind adults, gave clinical therapy to pregnant teens in the anxiety and depression clinic at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and ghost wrote reports for a top forensic psychiatrist in Manhattan,” her bio at Film Fatales details.
