Lucas Hedges and Sterling K. Brown are set to star in Waves, a dramatic musical from director Trey Edward Shults, according to Variety.
The musical will follow two young couples working through the trials of growing up and falling in love. Additionally, Shults will pen the film, and Waves will be his third collaboration with A24, following last year’s atypical horror pic It Comes At Night (2017) and 2015’s Krisha.
Hedges was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 2016’s Manchester by the Sea, but his filmography is loaded with criticallyacclaimed films—don’t groan too much when you remember that he’s only 21—including Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, as well as Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Hedges will next appear in Joel Edgerton’s conversion therapy drama Boy Erased (the release of which was just this week pushed back to Nov. 2).
