Brent Lang Executive Editor Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer and “Ghostlight” director Alex Thompson will reunite for a body swap comedy. Think “Freaky Friday” with an indie sensibility. From “Heaven Can Wait” to “Big” and “The Hot Chick,” it’s a familiar genre.
However, what makes this film unique is that it’s believed to be the first family body swap movie to star an actual parent and their child. Keith and Katherine starred in Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan’s acclaimed Sundance movie “Ghostlight,” which opens this Friday in limited release by IFC Films and Sapan Studios. It continues its theatrical rollout throughout the summer.
Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan will co-write the untitled film, with Thompson set to direct. Full plot details are being kept under wraps. However, the film is being likened to “Columbo” with a twist (we may have missed the episode where Peter Falk and a younger version of himself swap raincoats).
Park Pictures, Fusion Entertainment and Eddie Linker will produce the picture, which, like most of Thompson and O’Sullivan’s films, will be shot in Chicago next year. It reinforces their commitment to making independent films in the region. Keith and Katherine received rave reviews for their performances in “Ghostlight,” in which they star alongside Tara Mallen, their respective real-life wife and mother.
