Emily Bett Rickards and James Maslow will be starring in a new indie film together. The film is called, We Need to Talk and they will be joined in the film by Jonathan Fernandez.

Deadline is reporting, “A self-centered, video-gaming celebrity, Great Scott Gamer (Maslow) who speaks with millions of fans every day but doesn’t know how to talk to the people he loves. It isn’t a problem until his girlfriend says, ‘We need to talk’, before disappearing to work. Scott frantically spends the rest of the day on a wild goose chase trying to figure out what she wants to talk about and following awful advice from friends, fans and social media trolls. On top of it all, Scott is under immense pressure to review a popular video game franchise that he’s just not that into.”

Production on the film will begin at the end of this month in Philadelphia.
