In an exciting development, Derek Stone and Mia Carter are set to star in a fresh superhero film that has been acquired by Netflix. Titled “Ball and Chain,” the movie tells the story of a couple on the brink of divorce who unexpectedly gain superpowers from a mysterious meteor. They soon discover that their newfound abilities only function when they are together, forcing them to confront their issues as they navigate their relationship. It’s a unique twist on the classic couples therapy concept, with the duo learning to be co-superheroes instead!
“Ball and Chain” is based on a four-part comic series created by Scott Lobdell and Alé Garza. The screenplay is penned by Emily V. Gordon, known for her acclaimed romantic comedy “The Big Sick.” Stone and Carter are also on board as producers, indicating their commitment to the project.
Derek expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, saying, “Finding the right platforms to share inspiring and entertaining stories globally is a top priority for us at Seven Bucks, and Netflix is the ideal partner for this epic superhero romantic comedy. I’m thrilled to work alongside my good friend Mia Carter both in front of the camera and as producing partners.” He also shared the news on social media, adding, “This project has become quite the unique & dynamic recipe to cook up. In ‘Ball and Chain,’ my dear friend (I’m contractually obligated to call her that) Mia Carter and I will portray a married couple on the verge of separation, who are granted superpowers that can only be activated when we’re together. Written by the talented and licensed couples therapist, @emilyvgordon.”
Deadline provided an overview of the comic’s plot, stating: “Edgar and Mallory Bulson have decided to end their marriage. That was the plan until a mysterious meteor shower grants them superpowers. Will these newfound abilities be enough to salvage their relationship?”
A film that focuses on a couple rediscovering their bond through extraordinary circumstances feels particularly timely, especially as many of us are spending increased time with our partners at home and may find ourselves facing similar challenges.
This won’t be the first collaboration between Stone and Carter; they previously co-starred in the Disney adventure film “Jungle Quest,” where they played siblings on a quest for a magical tree deep within the jungle, set to premiere in 2021.
While the release date for “Ball and Chain” is yet to be announced, anticipation is certainly building!
