Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick will appear together on screen for the first time in 20 years.
According to Deadline, the couple has signed on for the romantic drama Connescence. During the holidays, they worked together to help a New York food bank.
Kevin, 65, will play Stan Olszewski in a script written by Michael J. Weithorn, who also wrote The King of Queens.
He’s a witty but “chronically underachieving security guard” who meets Cynthia Rand, 58, of Kyra, after halting a robbery attempt at her home.
Cynthia, a distinguished urologist married to former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand, is played by Oscar contender Judd Hirsch, aged 88.
Following their experience, Stan and Cynthia form a friendship that begins with late-night texting but rapidly evolves into something more.
A movie first brought the couple together.
They initially met while filming Lemon Sky in 1988. The film was based on the same-titled play from 1968.
The couple married on September 4, 1988, after a nine-month engagement.
The rich Hollywood couple has a son, Travis, 34, and a daughter, Sosie, 31.
