Billie Lourd is heading to the seven seas (well, kind of) in comedy-drama The Pirate King alongside Superman & Lois star Bitsy Tulloch and The X-Files Agent Reyes Annabeth Gish in the film about a ‘Marine veteran struggling with PTSD and addiction who finds unexpected redemption when he joins a group of pirate reenactors’. With zero fear of the film being accused of plagiarism, the movie has no release date, and Lourd is also onboard as a producer.
Pine Bay Pictures, Morning Moon and Traction have added Billie Lourd, Matt Barr and Elizabeth Tulloch to Josh Plasse’s comedy-drama The Pirate King starring Rob Riggle and Jordana Brewster.
Star Wars and American Horror Story star Lourd is also producing the movie. She’s starring in this summer’s Paramount animated pic Smurfs as Worry Smurf. Cameras are rolling in Virginia Beach.
Lourd’s credits include Scream Queens, American Horror Stories, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl. Her Morning Moon label recently produced Wildflower, starring Kiernan Shipka and Jean Smart, released on Hulu, as well as the documentary Watershed about Paralympic swimmer Mallory Weggemann, released on Peacock.
