Two acting prodigies from past and present awards contenders are teaming up for a dark new comedy.
Alan S. Kim, the 7-year-old breakout star of “Minari,” is joining forces with “Eighth Grade” actor Elsie Fisher for the new film “Latchkey Kids.”
Fisher was a Golden Globe nominee for best performance by an actress in a comedy or musical for the widely praised 2018 Bo Burnham film. Kim stole hearts and earned raves for his role as young David in “Minari,” Lee Isaac Chung’s American epic. Both films were released by A24.
In “Latchkey Kids,” Kim will play a bright nine-year-old who befriends an eccentric teenager (Fisher), who’s also looking to escape a dysfunctional life and mother. The pair faces a considerable obstacle — local enforcement believes Kim’s character might be offing his babysitters. Production on the indie is set to begin this June.

Royal Pains delivered another solid episode this week, tackling charity football and jilted offspring in "But There's a Catch."
Faced with the opportunity to face his high school rival again, Hank agreed to compete with some pros the former, as Greg Jennings guest-starred and gave Hank the push he needed to get in tackling shape.
Lucky for Hank, his McGyver medical skills were in better shape than his gridiron game, which proved lifesaving for Ken Keller. Though, to be fair, Hank did possess some actual game of his own.
As if using Evan as a splint last week wasn't crazy enough, Hank's quick thinking had him creating a makeshift traction with a heavy-duty stapler, glove and rope here. Late in the episode, he used greenhouse supplies to measure the pressure building in Keller's arm. Impressive.
If there's one thing you can learn from this show, it's how to act under pressure.
