Famous friends Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are finally making another movie together

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been married for 36 years, which presumably means they generally live in the same house and eat meals together and watch TV together (the three main married things), but it’s been nearly 20 years since the two famous actors actually decided to act together. Well, that’s all going to change with Connescence, written and directed by King Of Queens creator Michael J. Weithorn (he doesn’t have a ton of movie experience, though he wrote and directed the 2010 Jenna Fischer dramedy A Little Help, so that’s something).

“Connescence,” as far as we can tell, is an old word meaning two things that are growing at once, which seems relatively appropriate for the plot that Deadline has shared: Bacon will play a “sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard” named Stan who stops an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia (Kyra Segwick) and Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch). Unfortunately for Warren, who is a “brilliant former Watergate prosecutor,” his wife and Stan start a “charged and dynamic friendship” that goes from “late-night text sessions” to “something that shakes the foundation of both their lives.” Sucks to be that guy, but what do you expect when your wife in the movie is married to a different guy in the movie in real life? We all love Judd Hirsch, but he didn’t stand a chance.

Bacon and Sedgwick’s last movie together was 2006’s Loverboy, which was also directed by Bacon and featured appearances from both of their children. Before that, they were both in The Woodsman, Murder In The First, and Pyrates. Now they’ll have something new to talk about while doing the dishes, discussing what to order for dinner, and arguing about whether or not the couch would look better in a different place (more marriage things).
