Jessica Biel will appear in the forthcoming film “Playmates,” produced by Searchlight Pictures. She has been cast opposite previously announced cast members Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Pullman, and Indiana Elle. Biel will portray the wife of Hugh Hefner, with the character based on a former Playmate, though the role itself is fictional.
The film marks the feature writing and directorial debut of Lorraine Nicholson. According to the project’s logline, the narrative centers on a teenage character who considers the Playboy Mansion a second home and forms a friendship with one of several contestants competing to become Playmate of the Month. The two characters attempt to help each other achieve their respective goals.
Biel has built a substantial career in both acting and producing. Her acting credits include films such as “The Illusionist,” “New Year’s Eve,” and “Valentine’s Day,” alongside television series including “7th Heaven,” “The Sinner,” and “Candy.” Her performance in “The Sinner” garnered Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. In recent years, she has expanded her work as a producer through her Iron Ocean production company, overseeing executive production on series including “Cruel Summer” and “Limetown.”
Production details include Alex Orlovsky and Duncan Montgomery serving as producers via High Frequency Entertainment, with Depp also producing. Searchlight Pictures executives Richard Ruiz and Cornelia Burleigh are overseeing the project for the studio.
