For those who just can’t get enough of Pedro Pascal, the hottest “rising star” in Hollywood – one who’s actually been working for years – there’s good news! He still has a project coming up later this year, as he just signed on to another exciting film that the LGBTQ community will love.
Pascal was recently announced as the latest addition to the cast of Ethan Cohen’s upcoming film Drive-Away Dolls.
The star cast includes Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp and Academy Award winner Matt Damon.
The film centers around Jamie, played by Qualley, and her friend Marian, played by Viswanathan. The two embark on an impromptu road trip to Florida after Jamie experiences a devastating breakup.
Along the way, they encounter a group of vicious criminals and their adventure takes a dangerous turn. It’s been described as a “lesbian road trip” movie, which sounds bad.
What roles everyone besides Qualey and Viswanathan will play is still unclear. Currently, Drive-Away Dolls is scheduled to hit theaters on September 22.
Drive-Away Dolls marks Ethan Coen’s solo directorial debut, a remarkable achievement for one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors. Throughout his decade-long career, Coan has always worked alongside his brother Joel.
The Coen brothers have collectively garnered 16 Oscar nominations and won four – in as many different categories. They are best known for movies like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Barton Fink, O Brother, Where Are You?, and won Best Picture No country for old men.
In addition to directing the Coen, Drive-Away Dolls co-written by the man behind the camera and film editor Tricia Cooke, who also happens to be his wife.
Pascal has been on the rise in Hollywood over the last year or so, having recently starred in a number of successful projects, including the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries The last of us and Disney+ The Mandalorian.
For those who simply can’t wait until September to see Pascal play again, he’s also set to star in the highly anticipated queer western short film Strange way of lifealongside Ethan Hawke.
The film, directed by Pedro Almodóvar, is set to premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
