How New Movie ‘The Wrong Girls’ First Brought Together Kristen Stewart and Wife Dylan Meyer
Dylan Meyer has written and directed her first feature film, 'The Wrong Girls,' a stoner comedy centring on two best friends whose lives spiral into chaos following a case of mistaken identity. The film stars Kristen Stewart alongside Alia Shawkat, with a supporting ensemble including Geena Davis, Kate McKinnon, LaKeith Stanfield, and Kumail Nanjiani. Seth Rogen serves as producer through his company Point Grey Pictures.
The script originated over a decade ago when Meyer sent it to Stewart upon their initial meeting, though they lost contact before reconnecting romantically years later. During their relationship, Stewart expressed interest in starring in and championing the project, which encouraged Meyer to overcome her reservations about directing. Meyer credited Stewart's confidence and conviction in the film as instrumental in moving the project forward, describing how the actress's determination transformed a venture Meyer initially considered too ambitious into reality.
