Quinta Brunson and Stephanie Hsu are the team-up we didn't know we needed, and other casting news from this week

It’s been a huge week for the creation of buzzy new onscreen pairs. We’ve already reported on the upcoming team-ups between Zendaya and Robert Pattinson for a new film from Dream Scenario director Kristoffer Borgli, and  Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell for an untitled J.J. Abrams project that could be about literally anything in the world except for time travel, according to a very funny Deadline writeup.

But those aren’t the only two major duos that were announced this week. According to Deadline, Quinta Brunson and Stephanie Hsu are also teaming up for a film called Par For The Course that, with these two involved, is sure to be as chaotic as it is hilarious. Brunson is co-writing and co-producing with Abbott Elementary’s Justin Tan, who will also direct in his feature-length debut. Not much is known about the plot as of this writing, but from the title we can assume that it’s probably yet another golf comedy, adding on to a curious emerging trend.
