After starring together in The Long Walk, David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman are reuniting for a new movie from A24. Two rising stars in Hollywood, Jonsson and Hoffman, who led the recent Stephen King adaptation that has received plenty of acclaim, including in Screen Rant’s Todd Gilcrhist’s review, are adding this new comedy to their growing slate of upcoming movies.
Jonsson and Hoffman will star in The Chaperones, from a script written by Sebastian Black, his first feature script, and directed by India Donaldson, who made her directorial debut with Good One. The Chaperones takes place in the days after Christmas and follows three slacker friends hired to transport a troubled teen across the country.
Prior to The Long Walk, Jonsson was best known for his role in Alien: Romulus, a role that he is expected to reprise in the Alien: Romulus sequel. He is also attached to star opposite Sydney Sweeney in the movie Scandalous!
Hoffman, meanwhile, has previously starred in Licorice Pizza and Saturday Night, while his upcoming slate includes the Maude Apatow directorial debut Poetic License and the thriller I Want Your Sex opposite Olivia Wilde.
