Emeraude Toubia has a new pet project…
The 35-year-old half-Mexican Canadian actress has joined the cast of Sony Pictures International Productions and Mucho Mas Media’s The Pet Nup, an original rom-com currently in development.
Toubia will star alongside Gregg Sulkin, Halston Sage and Jaime Pressly in the film to be directed by Elaine del Valle.
Scripted by Tate Hanyok, the film’s logline is as follows: While a recently divorced couple navigates new life and love apart, the arrangement in their “Pet-Nup” forces them to extremes as they fight for custody of the one thing in their life that can’t be split in two: their dog.
Previously starring in Gloria Calderón Kellett’s Prime Video series With Love and Freeform’s Shadowhunters, Toubia will soon be seen in the title role of Felipe Vargas’ horror film Rosario.
She’ll also star alongside Gina Rodriguez and Karla Souza in the upcoming comedy, Like It Used to Be.
Most recently directing the Tubi original Midnight Hustle, Del Valle also wrote and directed Brownsville Bred, a YA family drama sharing her personal coming-of-age story. She is a WarnerMedia 150 Artist, Sundance Writer & Director Lab alumna, Shondaland Director finalist and two-time Lynn Shelton and Imagen Impact award nominee.
