Elle Fanning Also Starring in Glasgow-Set Musical 'God Help the Girl'

It's very interesting to watch the career of Elle Fanning. She's already worked with J.J. Abrams, Cameron Crowe, David Fincher, Francis Ford Coppola all by age 14, who's next? Variety reports on another role she's taking in a musical set in Glasgow, Scotland titled God Help the Girl, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch, lead singer of Belle and Sebastian. The project, which has been in the works since late 2003, will also star English actor Olly Alexander, seen in Enter the Void and Gulliver's Travels. If you're familiar with Murdoch's 2009 album "God Help the Girl" or the Kickstarter, then you may already know about this.

The film is being produced by Barry Mendel, but earned over $120,000 in funding through Kickstarter (their page). Olly Alexander will play James, a cynical guitarist who accompanies Eve's singing and becomes a mentor to Cass (Fanning), an American teen who tags alongside the ...

LOL Trailer 2

Plot summary:
Lola (Cyrus) and her friends navigate the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship while dodging their sometimes overbearing and confused parents. When Lola's mom, Anne (Moore), "accidentally" reads her teenage daughter's racy journal, she realizes just how wide their communication gap has grown. Through hilarious and heartfelt moments between mother and daughter, LOL is an authentic coming-of-age story for the way we live now.
 
Lola's high school inner-circle includes Kyle (Booth) Lola's BFF, whom she realizes is her love interest; Lola's two best friends Janice (Esco) and Emily (Hinshaw); Max (Sevani) -- a nerd that Emily secretly hooks up with; Lola's ex-boyfriend and Kyle's best friend Chad (Finn); Lloyd (Watson) who is part of their crew; and Ashley (Greene) -- the sexy girl who has set her sights on Kyle, much to Lola's dismay. Thomas Jane plays Alan, Anne's ex-husband and Lola's father. Jay Hernandez plays James, a dangerously cute, good-natured cop dating Anne who is able to offer a little perspective on her teenage daughter. Austin Nichols plays Mr. Ross, the heartthrob math teacher, who all the girls have a crush on. Marlo Thomas plays Gran, Anne's sophisticated mother whose relaxed demeanor allows her to be the easy-going bystander when it comes to watching Anne raising children of her own. Gina Gershon and Fisher Stevens play Anne's closest friends and confidants and Nora Dunn plays Emily's mom.

Director Seth Gordon Sets Up 'The Has-Beens' After 'Identity Theft'

Following the success of Horrible Bosses, director Seth Gordon has already lined up a sequel with Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman returning, and he's also working with the ripe and popular comedic talents of Melissa McCarthy on Identity Theft (which also stars Bateman). Now the filmmaker has lined up another comedy over at New Line with a script coming from Max Werner, the writer behind TV mastermind Josh Schwartz's ("Chuck" and "The OC") feature film debut Fun Size. However, Variety reports that the logline and any vague details about the film currently titled The Has-Beens, have not yet been revealed.

If I had to guess, I'd wager that the film is an even more comedic approach to something like RED, with some washed up, older action veterans getting back in the game. Of course, that seems to simple, and if New Line is keeping it under wraps, hopefully that ...

21 JUMP STREET

RYAN: The TV series made Johnny Depp a star. I never watched the show in the late 80s/early 90s so I can't compare it.

CAROLINE: I didn't ever really see it either. And I didn't see this film. How was it?

RYAN: It's good, not great.

CAROLINE: I can't say I'm all that surprised. Was it even funny?

RYAN: Yeah there is some decent comedy. And I much prefer Jonah Hill in this kind of role versus what he did in Moneyball. LBH, I still can't believe he was nominated for an Oscar.

CAROLINE: I know. It's actually hard to believe. How was Channing? Was his shirt off the whole time?

RYAN: Actually not even once.

CAROLINE: I'm shocked! I figured he has that written into his contract at this point.

RYAN: He's fine but never really an amazing actor. He's no Ryan Gosling. But you know who was in this but I didn't realize till the end?

CAROLINE: Who?

RYAN: James Franco's younger brother Dave. He plays the drug dealer at the school.

CAROLINE: Gee, I wonder how he got in the business.

RYAN: Exactly. He's good though; so talent runs in the family.

CAROLINE: It's billed as an action comedy. How's the action?

RYAN: It's tame. There are no OMG Mission Impossible-like action moments. And the comedy is always played before the action. It is a bit cheesy at times and other times outright crosses the line for a laugh.

CAROLINE: How was the scene where Jonah has the blond hair?

RYAN: It's funny. It's fine.

CAROLINE: You sound kinda middle of the road on this.

RYAN: I think the young boy demographic will like this, though it is rated R. It's just a total bromance comedy. Jonah and Channing have decent bro-chemistry but I just wasn't completely roused by this the way we are by, like, Steve Carel comedies, you know?

CAROLINE: Oh honey, I know.

RYAN: There is one fantastic surprise at the end of the film that makes for a great moment but I don't wanna give anything away for those who want to see this.

CAROLINE: Please don't.

RYAN: This film is relatively enjoyable. The audience I screened it with seemed to be enjoying it a lot more than me I just think compared to other comedies, like Bridesmaids, or Wanderlust, currently out, this isn't as good. Where I recommended those, this one can be more of a rental.
