Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick to Costar in New Movie for First Time Since 2004

Married couple Bacon and Sedgwick last appeared on the big screen together in the 2004 movies 'Cavedweller' and 'The Woodsman'

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are heading back to the big screen together!

PEOPLE confirmed Tuesday that Bacon and Sedgwick, who celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary together back in September, will costar in the upcoming movie Connescence. The movie will mark their first film together since 2004, when the couple appeared together in two films: Cavedweller and The Woodsman. Deadline was the first to report the news.

Connescence is written and directed by Michael J. Weithorn, a longtime writer, director and producer who is best known for creating the CBS Kevin James sitcom The King of Queens. Outside his work in television, Weithorn last directed a feature film with 2010's A Little Help.

His latest movie stars Bacon, 65, as a security guard named Stan, who meets Sedgwick's character Cynthia after he stops an attempted robbery at her home. "From this chance encounter grows 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," reads the synopsis, per Deadline.

“We are so excited to work together on screen again for the first time in 20 years in such a funny, moving and original script," the couple shared in a statement with the outlet.

While Bacon and Sedgwick, 58, have not acted together onscreen in 20 years, the pair have worked on different movies each have directed. Sedgwick starred in Bacon's feature directorial debut with 2005's Loverboy, and Bacon returned the favor when she made her own feature directorial debut in 2022 with the movie Space Oddity.

"It's great working with your family, and it's complicated working with your family," Sedgwick told PEOPLE of working with her family on Space Oddity in March 2023. (The couple's son Travis, 34, composed Space Oddity's music.) "But you know no one's going anywhere, so that's kind of nice. You can struggle through it and puzzle through it together."
