New film! “Very Good Girls” with Dakota Fanning

Movie News, Very Good Girls No Comments

Elizabeth has lined up another new movie! She will star opposite Dakota Fanning in a new NYC set movie called “Very Good Girls”. Sounds awesome!

Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are “Very Good Girls”

Two of the brightest young stars are aligning, as Deadline reports from Cannes that Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are teaming up for “Very Good Girls”, and will be supported by a cast of veteran actors including Peter Sarsgaard, Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek.

To be written and directed by Naomi Foner, Fanning and Olsen will play two teenage girls spending a summer in New York City. After graduating from high school, each girl becomes determined to lose her virginity and complications ensue when they both set their sights on the same charismatic street artist. No word on who might play the street artist though memory of Sarsgaard’s corruption of young Carey Mulligan in 2009′s “An Education” seems to make him an equally fitting charming/repulsive figure here as well.

Olsen is in Cannes promoting her recent Sundance breakout hit “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and recently wrapped Rodrigo Cortes’ sci-fi drama “Red Lights”. She will next co-star opposite Josh Radnor in his “happythankyoumoreplease” follow-up “Liberal Arts”. Fanning took a brief hiatus for the sake of her education but is now back in full force, recently completing the final installment of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” and currently filming “The Motel Life” opposite Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff. She’ll next head to the deep South for “Mississippi Wild”, a jewelry robbery actioner starring Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker.

Elizabeth joins Josh Radnor’s indie drama “Liberal Arts”

Liberal Arts, Movie News No Comments

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.
