Jenna Ortega to Direct Her First Film After 10 Years of Writing!

Jenna Ortega, the star of “Wednesday,” recently shared exciting news in an interview with musician The Weeknd. She revealed that she has been working on a script for almost 10 years and feels finally ready to make her movie a reality!

“I have a script that I’ve known I wanted to make for almost a decade. It’s funny because I thought of it when I was much younger, and now I’m taking steps to make it happen,” Jenna said.

The 22-year-old actress is using her experience from working on Netflix’s “Wednesday,” where she even has a production credit for the upcoming second season. “I’ve learned so much about filmmaking while working on the show. I needed these years to understand how everything works,” she explained.

Jenna is eager to create this film and has also been inspired to develop other stories. “There are other projects I want to explore, inspired by different actors and characters I haven’t played before.”

She hopes to star in the film she directs. “It’s a big goal for me. I want to direct, and starting out, I can use my acting experience to help me,” she said.

Jenna and The Weeknd are set to appear together in a new movie called “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” which will hit theaters in the US in May.
