The Return of Kerri Green!

80s screen sweetheart Kerri Green, best known for her role in Chris Columbus & Steven Spielberg’s smash-hit favorite ”The Goonies”, is making her return to film with a role in what’s shaping up to be this year’s American Beauty.

Titled ”Complacent” the gripping drama centers on two close sisters whose already tumultuous lives are rocked by tragedy.

Writer/director Steven R. Monroe, whose previous credits include ”House of 9” and ”It Waits”, says he wrote the film for Green – who he’s been a fan of since his younger years, having watched her in such classics as ”Lucas” and ”Three for the Road”, both films teaming the actress with Charlie Sheen.

“We all love The Goonies, and that’s undoubtedly the film we know Kerri for best”, adds producer/composer Corey Jackson. “But this is something totally new for her – and she’s as much looking forward to it as we are of working with her on it. Some will be shocked by her turn here, others will be in awe – but I’m predicting everyone will be mighty impressed”.

“I had [Kerri] in mind when I wrote the film”, says Monroe. “I’ve always been a fan and I knew she’d be perfect for this role, you cast with people like her, and the rest of the actors in the this film, and half your work is done as a director”.

Green made her film debut as Andy Carmichael in ”The Goonies”, a $19 million dollar adventure flick that went on to gross over $60 million in box office receipts in the U.S alone.

“I have always wanted to work with Steven, and when I read his script I was blown away!”, says Green. “I think Complacent hits a nerve that people try so desperately to avoid, which is what I love about his work”.

“I’m just as excited as everyone else is at the thought of seeing Kerri on the screen again” says Monroe. ‘’Especially in an indie drama piece like this.”.

Joining Green in the film are Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever), Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York), Christopher Showerman (George of the Jungle 2), Elisa Donovan (Clueless), Joey Kern (Super Troopers), and Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers).
