Hershey Chocolate Movie Set With ‘Mean Girls’ Director, Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario to Star

The upcoming live-action film Hershey will portray the story of Milton and Catherine Hershey, founders of the iconic chocolate company. Starring Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario, the movie will highlight the couple’s journey in building a candy empire and their dedication to community welfare. Director Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Freaky Friday) will commence filming in Pennsylvania in May, aiming for a 2026 release, coinciding with America’s 250th anniversary. “Milton Hershey’s story exemplifies the American Dream,” said Hershey CEO Michele Buck. “This movie will reveal how Milton and Kitty built something far greater than a chocolate company.” (Variety)
