Debbie Harry and Pamela Anderson are set to star as a mother-and-daughter pair in the indie comedy film “Maitreya,” according to multiple reports. The project is written by Samuel D. Hunter, who previously wrote “The Whale,” and is directed by Jonathan Krisel, known for his work in comedy.
In the film’s described storyline, Anderson plays Maitreya, a rising figure in the New Age healing community. She plans to travel to India for a conference, where her plans shift after she receives news from an estranged sister that their father is dying. Maitreya responds by bringing the wider family to the conference, with the premise that she will both test her “New Age healing” ideas and also pursue personal goals tied to her work.
The film is produced by Caviar, as cited in one outlet. The available coverage frames “Maitreya” as a comedic take on family dynamics alongside New Age themes, with the lead casting centered on Harry and Anderson.
