Vanessa Hudgens to Star in '60s Thriller "Quiet Storm"
Yara Sameh
Vanessa Hudgens has wrapped production in Vancouver, British Columbia on "Quiet Storm", a dramatic thriller marking the directorial debut of Anthony Thorne, who also wrote the script.
The movie explores themes from the '60s such as women's liberation and the Black Power movement.
It takes place in the summer of 1969, as the infamous Hurricane Camille marks its tragic landfall and features Hudgens as a romance novelist trapped indoors during the storm who struggles to cope with the reality of an ever-changing world.
Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Shining Vale, American Crime Story) co-stars, as does Thorne as Hudgens' husband.
Alongside Hudgens, Thorne and Sorvino, the film also features up-and-comers including Seydou Maiga, Sophia Chapdelaine, Cody John, and Elysée Sanvillé.
The film is being presented and executive produced by filmmaker Nick Cassavetes, a longtime friend and supporter of Thorne.
Hudgens and Thorne partnered as lead producers under Thorne's production company, Cliffside Films, alongside producer Oliver Trevena of Ollywood Media, and producers Stephanie Rennie and Emrey Wright of Odessa Productions.
Other executive producers include Cassavetes' decades-long collaborator, Matthew Barry of Adegan Productions, as well as Joel Eisenberg, Steve Snyder and Heidi Ben. Ronnie Exley and Rabbits Black are the financiers.
Hudgens is known for roles in everything from the "High School Musical" trilogy to the "Princess Switch" trilogy, Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers", and "Bad Boys: Ride or Die", opposite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
