In "Connescence," Bacon will play Stan Olszewski, a "sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard" who "breaks up an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia Rand," according to a press release for the project. Cynthia, who will be played by Sedgwick, is a "successful urologist married to brilliant former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand." Warren will be played by Judd Hirsch.
The chance encounter leads to a "charged and dynamic friendship -- first as late-night text sessions filled with humor and intimate revelations, growing into something that shakes the foundation of both their lives," according to a press release.
Filming for the Michael J. Weithorn-directed movie is taking place in Brooklyn. Weithorn also wrote the script.

Starring alongside Bacon, Sedgwick and Hirsch includes Brittany O'Grady.
"We are so excited to work together on screen again for the first time in twenty years in such a funny, moving and original script," Sedgwick and Bacon said in a statement.
The couple first met on the set of the movie "Lemon Sky" in 1987.
They tied the knot in September 1988 and have two children together, 33-year-old son Travis Bacon and 31-year-old daughter Sosie Ruth Bacon.
