Rebel Wilson to lead Paramount Players comedy Senior Year

Actor-comedian Rebel Wilson is all set to topline an upcoming movie for Paramount Players.

Titled Senior Year, the comedy movie will be directed by Alex Hardcastle, known for his work on shows such as Love, Victor, You're the Worst, and Grace And Frankie.

Brandon Scott Jones is writing the script based on a spec from Andrew Knauer and Arthur Pielli. The story is about a cheerleader who wakes up after a 20-year coma and returns to high school to try to regain her status and claim the prom queen crown that eluded her.

Wilson will also produce the movie alongside Todd Garner and Chris Bender.

The Australian actor most recently starred in Netflix's Isn't It Romantic and the Anne Hathaway-starrer The Hustle.
