Looks like there could be a new cult classic on the horizon. Jamie Babbit, director of two of our favorite queer coming-of-age staples But I'm a Cheerleader and Itty Bitty Titty Committee, will be teaming up once again wth Cheerleader star Natasha Lyonne for the upcoming dark comedy Fresno. According to Deadine, "The comedy follows lonely but stoic lesbian Martha (Lyonne), whose sister Shannon (Judy Greer), a sex addict with no impulse control and a long history of poor decisions, winds up back in Fresno cleaning hotel rooms with her. When they accidentally kill a guest, the sisters are forced to confront their unpleasant co-dependent relationship." Can this synopsis get any better?
Lyonne's history of playing gay is commendable, so we're pretty sure Fresno is in good hands. She's already won our affections as prisoner-with-a-heart-of-gold Nicky Nichols on Orange is the New Black, and was even nominated for an Emmy (her costar Uzo Aduba beat her at the Creative Arts Emmys last week). That Judy Greer, who is secretly somehow in everything, will be co-starring as well is an awesome added bonus.In fact, the only downside here is how long we have to wait to finally see the finished product!
