Internationally celebrated Latin Grammy Award-winning global superstar Bad Bunny is set to make his feature film debut in the upcoming film American Sole, opposite Pete Davidson, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Camila Mendes, and Offset, who were previously announced in the cast.
American Sole follows two twenty-somethings (Davidson and Jackson) with mountains of college debt who use the fast cash of after-market sneaker reselling to achieve their American dream. But when their startup runs out of cash and a shady investor is their only way out, the dream quickly becomes a nightmare.
Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group, said:
We’re tremendously excited by the way the cast is coming together and thrilled to have Bad Bunny joining this film.
As an actor, he’ll provide not only incredible entertainment value but real authenticity to his role.
American Sole is written and will be directed by Ian Edelman (HBO’s “How to Make It in America,” Netflix’s The After Party) and produced by Kevin Hart through his production company, HartBeat. Hart will be joined as producer by Jake Stein (Netflix’s The After Party) through his Scondo Productions label, and NBA All-Star Chris Paul, who produces through his Ohh Dip!!! Productions banner. American Sole marks Paul’s first feature film as producer. HartBeat’s Bryan Smiley is executive producing along with Bad Bunny. Drew Simon and Patricia Braga will oversee the project for STXfilms. Liz Stephens negotiated the deals for the studio.
