Billie Lourd is negotiating to join George Clooney and Julia Roberts in Universal Pictures’ Ticket to Paradise, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The romantic comedy will be directed by Ol Parker, who helmed Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Lourd is set to play a recent college graduate who travels with her best friend for a holiday in Bali.
Clooney and Roberts will play a divorced couple that also travel to Bali to stop their daughter from repeating an error they made 25 years earlier. The Universal pic will be filmed in Queensland, Australia, along the Gold Coast and in Brisbane, according to Screen Queensland.
Lourd’s screen credits include Booksmart, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the American Horror Story TV series. Parker and Daniel Pipski wrote the script for Ticket to Paradise, and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title will produce alongside Sarah Harvey and Deborah Balderstone.
Clooney and Grant Heslov will produce for their Smokehouse Pictures, alongside Red Om Films’ Roberts, Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill.
Lourd, Clooney and Roberts are represented by CAA, while Parker is represented by UTA, Knight Hall Agency Ltd. and Management 360.
