The trailer gives a sneak peek at a hilarious yet thought-provoking storyline. The film centers on Elliott, a spirited 18-year-old (played by Maisy Stella) celebrating her milestone birthday with a mushroom trip that takes an unexpected turn. She encounters her 39-year-old self. Her older self doesn't hold back on giving advice and warnings about life, love and the importance of family. Their meeting forces Elliott to reconsider her choices as she dives into a summer that could change everything.
Directed by Megan Park, who also wrote the screenplay, My Old Ass brings a solid cast to this layered story. Aubrey Plaza stars as the older Elliott, while Maisy Stella plays her younger self. The film also includes Percy Hynes White, Maddie Ziegler, and Kerrice Brooks in supporting roles. Produced by Tom Ackerley, Margot Robbie, Josey McNamara, and Steven Rales.
