Sorry for the lack of updates around these parts! Catching up on everything I missed and will be on top of things from now on! Let’s get started with Lizzie’s new movie:
Elizabeth Olsen to star in “Liberal Arts” drama; written, directed and also starring Josh Radnor
Elizabeth Olsen, one of this year’s Sundance breakout stars, and a favourite actress of ours here at Up and Comers, is to star alongside Josh Radnor, another Sundance star, in Liberal Arts, a film focusing “on a 35-year-old man who can’t leave his college life behind as he comes to grips with the responsibilities of adulthood.” reports THR (via Playlist)
Radnor, star of hit TV show “How I Met Your Mother” was behind this year’s low-key indie film Happythankyoumoreplease, and will direct and star in Liberal Arts, from a script that Radnor has penned himself.
Olsen is coming off of critical acclaim for her performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene, and will play “a 19-year-old college student who falls for Radnor’s character over a shared love of music and literature. She wants to make it work with the man but her immaturity makes it impossible for her to see the obvious obstacles.”
Filming is due to start this spring whilst Radnor’s TV show is on hiatus, and Tom Sawyer Entertainment and BCDF Pictures are producing.
