Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker Join Benny Safdie's 'Lizard Music'

Alicia Silverstone and Tim Heidecker have been cast in Benny Safdie's upcoming project, 'Lizard Music.' This film is a hybrid live-action and CGI adaptation of Daniel Pinkwater's novel of the same name. Specific details regarding the characters Silverstone and Heidecker will portray have not yet been disclosed.

Earlier this week, it was reported that 10-year-old Theo Clark Leber secured the lead role in 'Lizard Music.' Leber will star opposite Dwayne Johnson, who is also attached to the project as a producer. Benny Safdie is credited with adapting the screenplay for the film, based on Pinkwater's original work.

'Lizard Music' marks a significant directorial endeavor for Benny Safdie, known for his collaborations with his brother Josh Safdie on films such as 'Good Time' and 'Uncut Gems.' The project's blend of live-action and CGI suggests an ambitious visual approach. The involvement of established actors like Silverstone and Heidecker, alongside a young lead and a prominent producer like Johnson, indicates a high level of anticipated production value and critical attention for the film.
