With scandalous films like Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble, John Waters became a celebrated cult director in the underground scene. His work is not only full of slapstick and situational comedy, but often sparks one White trash hell of explicit violence, sex and disgusting excrement.
The American, who was also dubbed the Trash Pope, made his last feature film in 2004 with the brutal comedy A Dirty Shame. Now Waters is about to make his big directorial comeback. He is filming his own novel, Liarmouth, which was published in 2022. The perfect lead role for this has now been found.

In recent years, Plaza has appeared in films such as Ingrid Goes West and Emily the Criminal and series such as The White Lotus. Her often rough, cheeky manner makes her the ideal John Waters leading lady. The casting has not yet been officially confirmed.
