Inside Emma Stone's $41 million renovated estate
Emma Stone has listed her newly renovated Texas estate for a hefty $US26.5 million ($A41.1 million). Located in the upscale Tarrytown neighbourhood, the 1.25-acre property will be among the most expensive on the market in Austin, Realtor reports. According to Eric Moreland of Moreland Properties/Forbes Global Properties, one of the listing agents, the actress and her husband, comedy writer Dave McCary spent more than three years renovating and restoring the home. Moreland said the couple's New York business interests have expanded since they started the remodel, and while they hope to live in Austin eventually, it doesn't make sense for now. The couple, who are co-founders of the production company Fruit Tree, own a roughly $US12 million ($A18 million) apartment in lower Manhattan, according to property records. Stone is slated to star in the upcoming contemporary Western film 'Eddington.' It's unclear what Stone and McCary paid for the Austin property, since Texas is a nondisclosure state. The Georgian-style brick house dates to around 1940, making it one of the oldest estates in the area. The roughly 10,000-square-foot estate includes a main house with four bedrooms and a two-bedroom guesthouse. The property also has a pool, a hot tub, and a garage with a screening room and entertaining space above. As part of the renovation, the couple removed, cleaned and reused all the exterior brick. The pair also reconfigured some of the living spaces, opening the kitchen to the living room for a more modern layout. It took more than a year just to install the millwork in the screening room, said Moreland. The contractors are now putting the finishing touches on the property, he said. The 'La La Land' actress has a track record of buying and selling her homes for significantly more than she paid. In 2022, she sold her blufftop Malibu, Calififornia, home for $US4.425 million after buying it for $US3.25 million in 2018, according to property records. Last year, she sold her home in L.A.'s Comstock Hills neighbourhood for $US4.3 million, significantly more than the $US2.3 million she paid in 2019.

A24 Boards Jesse Eisenberg's Untitled New Comedy From Topic Studios and Fruit Tree
A24 has landed Academy Award-nominated writer/director Jesse Eisenberg's next untitled comedy project, the studio announced Tuesday. Along with Eisenberg, the film stars Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey, Havana Rose Liu and Bernadette Peters. In addition, Bonnie Milligan, Colton Ryan, Lilli Cooper and Maulik Pancholy also join the cast. Production began in April. The film follows a shy woman who is unexpectedly cast in a community theater musical production, going to extremes as she loses herself in the role. Eisenberg wrote the original music and lyrics for the film's musical, with music supervisor Steven Gizicki ('A Complete Unknown,' 'La La Land') and executive music producer Bill Sherman ('In The Heights'), choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler ('Hamilton') and cinematography by Drew Daniels ('Anora'). Fruit Tree's Emma Stone, Dave McCary and Ali Herting will produce with Topic Studios serving as executive producers. This film reteams Fruit Tree and Topic Studios with Eisenberg, as the companies were behind his critically acclaimed film 'A Real Pain,' which earned Kieran Culkin an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Eisenberg a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. This project continues Eisenberg's partnership with Fruit Tree and A24, following his directorial debut 'When You Finish Saving the World,' as well as Fruit Tree and A24's previous collaborations on 'I Saw the TV Glow' and 'The Curse.' Topic Studios is also teaming with A24 on several upcoming films, including co-financing David Lowery's epic pop melodrama 'Mother Mary,' starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel; and 'Peaked,' a new comedy written by Molly Gordon and Allie Levitan, that Gordon will direct and star in. CAA Media Finance, WME Independent, Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole and Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan LLP negotiated the deal. The post A24 Boards Jesse Eisenberg's Untitled New Comedy From Topic Studios and Fruit Tree appeared first on TheWrap.
