I literally spat out my water when I get word where the film — which is calledMile End Kicks — is set .
OKAY, HI. Are you sitting down? You better be, because I’m about to drop some MAAAAJOR news. If you’re a fan of a) movies, b) ’90s music stars, or c) Canadianpop culture— or all 3, like me — you’re gonna wanna hear this.#
Basically, a new romcom is now in production, and the story is so good, I might actually start sobbing. The film is calledMile End Kicksand it stars none other thanBarbie Ferreira— you might know her fromEuphoria. It also stars Devon Bostick (who was inOppenheimerandDiary of a Wimpy Kid), Stanley Simons, and Juliette Gariépy.#
And listen to this: it’s set in none other thanMontreal, Canada, which is where it’s currently being filmed. This brings me to the next (and the most important) part…#
…a major aspect of the plot involves a Canadian-born singer who is so iconic, she has most definitely changed millions of lives. In the movie, the publicist wants to write a book about said singer, which is how she fits into the plot.#
Okay, I’ve done enough stalling, so I’ll just tell you: it’s Alanis Morisette!#
Now, we’re not sure how much the movie will actually revolve around Alanis — and I’m guessing she probably won’t be IN the movie (although I’m dreaming of a cameo, at least). But STILL. There will definitely be lots of love for Alanis and good vibes in the film, and that’s the best gift we can get.#
Besides, the movie has a killer production team (which actually includes Barbie Ferreira!), so we know it’ll be great. It was directed and written by Chandler Levack, who also directedI Like Movies(and clearly she knows what she’s doing, because if you haven’t seen it, that film got a perfect score onRotten Tomatoes).#
So yeah, it’s all going to be very cute and very Canadian. Let me just set the scene for you: can you imagine hearing a Mac DeMarco or Arcade Fire song in the background of a romcomset in Montreal??? It sounds magical. Like a beautiful Canadian dream.#
Although the movie is currently only in the early stages of production, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for updates, and I’m also praying for a killer, Canadian soundtrack.#
