EXCLUSIVE: Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect multihyphenate Rebel Wilson has inked with the United Talent Agency for representation.
The news comes in the wake of Wilson making her feature directorial debut, the musical, The Deb, at TIFF which garnered 80% fresh with critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The Deb, which Wilson co-wrote and produced, follows two teenage girls who attend a debutante ball in a small country town.
Other big movies from Wilson include Jojo Rabbit, Hustle, and Isn’t It Romantic. With films that have totaled nearly $3 billion at the global box office, Wilson is arguably Australia’s biggest female comedy export.
Wilson starred in the Netflix comedy Senior Year, which was the streamer’s 9th most watched film of 2022, as well as the most watched film among female-led originals. Eight-nine million unique Netflix accounts globally streamed the film its first ten days of release, outperforming all male-driven comedies on the platform that year. Up next, she stars in the action-comedy Bride Hard which hits theaters June 20, as well as the UK holiday film Tinsel Town and Timothy Scott Bogart’s Juliet & Romeo, releasing May 9th, in which she takes on the dramatic role of Lady Capulet opposite Jason Isaacs and Sir Derek Jacobi.
Wilson was previously represented by WME, and retains WME agent Brooke Slavik Jung for endorsements. The singer, actress, and filmmaker will continue to be repped by Tavistock Wood in the UK, Creative Representation in Australia, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
