‘Red Rocket’s Bree Elrod Inks With Anonymous Content

EXCLUSIVE: Red Rocket breakout Bree Elrod has signed with Anonymous Content for representation.

In the dark comedy from acclaimed writer-director Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine), which is set for release on December 10, Elrod plays Lexi—the estranged wife of washed-up porn star Mikey Saber (Simon Rex), who returns to his small Texas hometown, regardless of the fact that no one wants him back. Since leaving the adult movie industry herself, Lexi has retreated to their hometown and slipped into drugs, but Mikey’s return sparks in her a mass of conflicting feelings, not all of them negative.
