Stranger Things star Francesca Reale has joined the cast of new movie Música which stars Riverdale's Camila Mendes.

Deadline reports Rudy Mancuso will direct as well as star in the rom-com along with Curb Your Enthusiasm's J.B. Smoove and Rudy's own mum Maria Mancuso.

The movie, which has already wrapped filming, was written by Manusco and American Vandal's Dan Lagana. Not only will Manusco star and write on Música, the director also wrote the original score and soundtrack.

Música tells the story of a young man (played by Mancuso) in Newark, New Jersey, who is tormented by the music in his head as he grapples with an uncertain future concerning his Brazilian identity, his family and his love life.

Manusco told the publication that he was looking forward to working with Camila Mendes on the project saying: "I'm beyond excited to have the wildly gifted mind of Camila join this special journey of Música, where we're telling an authentic Brazilian-American story through the eyes of a synesthete."

"We are thrilled to team up with Cami, both in front of the camera and behind it, not only is she one of the most talented actresses of her generation, she also brings an authenticity to the project with her cultural knowledge of Brazil," added producer Mary Viola.

Described as "a delicious dark comedy", the film stars Mendes as high school student Drea and Hawke as Eleanor.

Drea is your typical school mean girl while Eleanor is a social outcast who transfers to the school. The pair form an unlikely friendship and decide to team up in order to get revenge on those who did them wrong.
