The project comes from Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA), Riviera Films, and K7 Entertainment. Deadline first reported on the new project. Janeen Damian, Amanda Phillips, Jimmy Townsend, Kelly Fraizer, and Galen Fletcher are listed as executive producers of the new movie. Jonathan Clay Harris and Candice Elzinga are serving as the casting directors. Nicole Henrich is behind the script for The Wrong Paris.
What’s the plot of The Wrong Paris?
Here’s an expanded version of the synopsis for the upcoming rom-com:
“Desperate to escape her tiny hometown in Texas and explore the world, Dawn gets accepted to an art school in Paris but doesn’t have the funds to cover the travel and living expenses.
Looking for ways to raise quick cash, her younger sister convinces her to audition for a Bachelor-type reality show set in Paris for the free flight and appearance fee – only to discover the producers have orchestrated a shocking twist – the show is actually set in Paris, Texas.
Now trapped as a contestant on a reality show just 30 minutes from her hometown, Dawn is determined to get kicked off, but she’s taken aback when a real romance begins to blossom with Trey, the shows handsome and charming bachelor. This leads her to question what she wants out of life, and if its worth leaving the small-town values and farm living she’s always known.”
