The Challenger draws inspiration from Meredith E. Bagby’s book The New Guys, which centered on some of NASA’s most groundbreaking astronomers. Sally Ride made the cut after making history as the first American woman to fly to space, in addition to being the first openly LGBT+ astronaut to do so.

Kyra Sedgwick’s Big Swing Productions is producing the film alongside Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners. Stewart herself decided to hop on board as a producer via Nevermind Production, after becoming determined to get this project off the ground.

“Who better to play Sally Ride than one of the great actors of her generation? As they say in Hollywood, passion wins the day. Her passion for being an executive producer is vast… She was so stunning in these pitch meetings and that was a huge part of why it has been so competitive,” Sedgwick told Deadline.

Stewart most recently starred in the hit Sundance drama Love Lies Bleeding, and will next be seen in post-apocalyptic drama Love Me and road comedy Sacramento.

Stewart and Isaac will play a wealthy couple Raoul and Alex, who are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence in the ’80s Los Angeles after meeting the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless and her hard-partying cabal.

Oscar winner Adam McKay is coming on board as one of the producers, and he described this project as wildly commercial and wildly artful.

“This director, this writer, these incredible actors, vampires, choice 80’s punk, style and attitude for miles… that’s the film we’re bringing you today… Our ambitions are to make a movie that ripples through popular culture, fashion, music, and film,” said McKay in a statement.

Cosmatos (Mandy) is directing this project from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en), based on a story they wrote together. In addition to McKay, the list of producers also includes Betsy Koch, Gena Konstantinakos, and Isaac via Mad Gene Media.

Stewart is fresh off starring in Love Lies Bleeding, and Flesh of the Gods will mark her return to the vampire genre that put her on the map. Isaac most recently appeared in the Disney+ series Moon Knight, and will next be seen in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.

Spencer takes place during the royal family’s Christmas holiday at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate, and it shows Princess Diana facing the inner turmoil of her life as a royal. As rumors of affairs and a divorce abound and the pressure she’s facing becomes impossible to bear, she’s faced with a difficult decision—stay on course or leave her loveless marriage with Prince Charles behind.

Directed by Pablo Larraín, best known for his work on the Jackie Kennedy biopic Jackie, Spencer had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. It also impressed the critics at film festivals in Telluride and Toronto, and it’s set to screen at several more before heading to theaters on November 5th.

Kristen Stewart is being hailed as an Oscar front-runner for her performance in this biopic, but she was in pretty good company on the set of Spencer. The supporting cast includes Jack Farthing, Timothy Spall, Sean Harris, and Sally Hawkins.

That’s according to one of the angels herself.

It was announced earlier this month that a reboot of the classic 1970’s show, about 3 private investigators and their disembodied voice of a boss, Charlie, would be helmed by Pitch Perfect 2 director, Elizabeth Banks, with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinksa starring as the famous trio.

Kristen has said of the film: “The re-imagining is so grounded and well-intentioned and really shows the way women can work together now. It tries to be warm and funny, but it lacks a kitsch element that we have seen before that works so well.”

The Twilight actress is currently amidst fight-training in preparation for the project which has no filming date as yet.

She also revealed that she has not yet met her fellow Angels but will be doing so very soon, and has been in constant contact with Elizabeth.

The 44-year-old will be pulling double duty on the film as she will also be starring as the Angel’s handler, Bosley.

We can’t wait to wish them all “good morning!”
