Best F(r)iends is an upcoming American comedy thriller film written and produced by Greg Sestero and directed by Justin MacGregor. It stars Sestero and Tommy Wiseau, reuniting them in their first film together since making the 2003 cult classic The Room. The cast also includes Paul Scheer.[1][2]
Premise
When a drifter (Sestero) is taken in by a peculiar mortician (Wiseau), the two hatch an underground enterprise off the back of the mortician's old habits. Greed, hatred, and jealousy soon come in turn, and their efforts unravel, causing the drifter to run off with the spoils and leaving the mortician adrift. An expedition across the Southwest introduces wild and crazy characters through a series of twisted and dark foibles as both men learn a valuable lesson about friendship and loyalty.[3]

- Kristen StephensonPino as Traci Walton, a young career woman who Jon meets and falls in love with.

Principal production began in 2016 in Los Angeles, California.
The musical score is created by Daniel Platzman of Imagine Dragons.[4]

The film is currently undated but could see release in early 2018.
