This week, Deadline reported that Kristen Stewart would be joining Michael Cera, Maya Erskine, and Michael Angarano in the upcoming film “Sacramento.” Described as a road trip comedy, the project was originally announced in November 2020 with a 2021 shooting window before languishing in — wait for it — arrested development (see what we did there).

The movie’s plot is described as the story of buds Rickey and Glenn — played by Angarano and Cera respectively — taking a road trip from LA to Sac where they must reflect on their past and question their future. Stewart will play Glenn’s wife, Rosie, while Angarano’s real-life fiance Erskine will play Rickey’s wife, Tallie.

Shooting is expected to begin this spring, with Angarano directing. He also served as co-writer of the script with Chris Smith.

Check out the full confirmed cast list so far, along with other projects you can see them in:

Saturday, April 15 kicks off International Dark Sky Week, an initiative to combat light pollution in cities all over the world. Do you want to see stars over our city — even downtown? Follow these recommendations from the International Dark Sky Association.

Help measure night sky brightness as a “citizen-scientist” with Globe at Night.

Inventory your home lighting by following the IDA checklist — it could be as easy as pointing an upward-facing light towards the ground.

Join the IDSW scavenger hunt. You’ll start by downloading the free hunt card. Record your progress, send the completed card to IDA, and claim some free Dark Sky stickers.

Contact a local government representative and request an official proclamation of IDSW. Awareness matters: Locals like you initiated 23 successful proclamations nationwide in 2022.

From the editor
One time in 2012, my mom and I got drunk at lunch and went to a tattoo parlor that used to exist on 16th + Broadway and got inked together — which is how I ended up with the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda etched onto my arm. Why am I telling you this? Because something tells me I’ll be out sick on Friday, May 12.
