Emma Roberts has onboarded Prime Video’s romantic comedy film “Space Cadet” as star and executive producer.
The “Madame Web” actor will collaborate with writer-director Liz W. Garcia, the filmmaker behind “The Lifeguard” and writer of Netflix’s hit film “Purple Hearts.”
The film will follow Rex, a Florida party girl who accidentally ends up training with candidates for the NASA space program. What she lacks in resume credits, she makes up for with heart and smarts, giving her a fighting chance.
Production is set to blast off in September.
Greg Silverman and Jon Berg are set to produce on behalf of Stampede Ventures, with Stampede’s Gideon Yu and Chris Bosco joining executive producers Roberts, Garcia and Michael Tadross.
