Wondering what life would be like if Aubrey Plaza, who recently turned 40, could talk to her much-younger self?
Well, Amazon MGM Studios can't answer that, but they are out to explore what a 39-year-old woman portrayed by the Delaware A-list actress would say if she were somehow able to hang in real time with an 18-year old version of herself.
The studio recently dropped the first trailer for "My Old Ass,'' a new film starring Plaza and directed by Megan Park. Maisy Stella plays the younger version of Plaza's character, Elliot. The film also stars Percy Hynes White, Maddie Ziegler and Kerrice Brooks.
"My Old Ass'' made a critically acclaimed debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and is expected to be released in a limited run to theaters on Sept. 13.
What is 'My Old Ass' about?
According to the film's official website, "An 18th-birthday mushroom trip brings Elliott face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self. When the older Elliott starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn't do, she realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what's becoming a transformative summer.''

And of course, the Ursuline Academy alum stars in "Megalopolis," the new sci-fi film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The movie debuted at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May and is expected to be released to theaters on Sept. 27.
In April, the second season dropped on Disney+ of the TV series based on the 2021 Pixar film "Monsters at Work,'' in which Plaza gives voice to the character Claire.
Plaza was also tapped to star in a John Waters' project, "Lairmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance,'' what was said to be the legendary filmmaker's first movie in 20 years, but the project is apparently struggling for funding, according to multiple news outlets.
Finally, Plaza and long-time collaborator Dan Murphy are working with Amazon Prime Video to produce a new cartoon about cats.
The series about a housecat named "Kevin'' has been ordered by Amazon Prime, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, May 30.
Delaware natives Murphy and Plaza are partners in Evil Hag Productions.
