LOS ANGELES — Chloe Cherry has been cast alongside Grammy-winner SZA in “Tuna Melt,” a new film written and directed by Eddie Huang, who will also star.
Deadline reported the casting today, describing the project as “an off-beat dramedy” and “an updated ‘Pulp Fiction’ meets ‘High Fidelity.’”
The plot follows “a hitman who unexpectedly meets the love of his life soon after he completes a job. This all transpires in the aftermath of a breakup,” Deadline reported.
"Tuna Melt" will be produced by music mogul Scooter Braun’s SB Projects and Ryder Picture Company.
This will be the second upcoming mainstream movie project for Cherry, whom Deadline called the “breakout star” of the hit second season of HBO’s “Euphoria.” She recently completed writer-director’s Peter Vack’s dystopian sci-fi pop satire “www.RachelOrmont.com.”
Cherry also presented an award onstage at the second annual Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards in Los Angeles, during a gala ceremony attended by top television stars this past weekend.
