Mason Thames, a 19-year-old actor known for roles in How to Train Your Dragon and The Black Phone, has signed on to star in Narcs, a new coming-of-age comedy from Sony Pictures. Deadline reports the deal is in place, with production plans underway as Sony develops the project.
Details about the film’s plot and character specifics are not yet publicly available, and both outlets note that the studio is keeping early story information under wraps. Deadline and ComingSoon.net also tie the project to writer John Phillips, who has prior writing credits on R-rated comedies including No Hard Feelings and Good Boys, and is reported to be involved with Narcs.
The coverage primarily focuses on the casting announcement and Phillips’ connection to the film, rather than offering additional creative details or release information. At this stage, sources agree on the principal elements: Thames’ involvement, Sony Pictures’ production, the movie title, and its coming-of-age comedy premise, with the plot still undisclosed.
