Rachel Bilson Joins The To Do List / The Hand Job

By Fiona | Jul 6, 2011 | Movie News (0) Comment

Rachel BilsonTo Do List or The Hand Job? Which one do you like better? I have no idea, but this ‘hand job’ thing sounds interesting.

So, of course it’s going to be a sex comedy, and of course it will have some great cast!

The project is both written and will be directed by Maggie Carey, and according to the latest reports, Clark Gregg and Rachel Bilson will join the cast that already includes Aubrey Plaza, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Scott Porter, D.C. Pierson and Dominic Dierkes. That’s not bad at all!

To Do List follows a type-A, studious girl who graduates high school and hasn’t done anything with a guy.

The summer before college she decides that she has to find out how to do everything in order to be properly prepared, so she makes a very serious bullet list of everything, like… handjob, titty-fuck, blow-job, fingering, and just kinda checks one off every time she does it.

She’s being the aggressor and is very straight-forward about it, like ‘Okay, so I’m going to give you a hand-job now.’ And the guys are very taken aback about it, especially her straight-laced friends.

Dylan McDermott Joins The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Dylan McDermottFirst of all, I like Dylan McDermott. And if you have a problem with that – I don’t care! But I want you to know that he will star in the upcoming adaptation of the Stephen Chbosky young adult novel titled The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Yes, it’s the same project we already wrote about, but since I like McDermott, I’m writing about it once again!

So, McDermott will join the cast that already includes Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Nina Dobrev, Mae Whitman and Johnny Simmons. He is set to star as Lerman’s father.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower follows “Charlie, the wallflower of the title, who goes through a veritable bath of bathos in his 10th grade year, 1991. The novel is formatted as a series of letters to an unnamed “friend,” the first of which reveals the suicide of Charlie’s pal Michael. Charlie’s response – valid enough – is to cry.

The crying soon gets out of hand, though – in subsequent letters, his father, his aunt, his sister and his sister’s boyfriend all become lachrymose. Charlie has the usual dire adolescent problems – sex, drugs, the thuggish football team – and they perplex him in the usual teen TV ways. Into these standard teenage issues Chbosky infuses a droning insistence on Charlie’s supersensitive disposition.

Johnny SimmonsThe Perks of Being a Wallflower is an upcoming Stephen Chbosky’s indie that is definitely getting bigger and bigger every day. Of course, you already guess that we’re here for a little casting update, because according to the latest reports, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star, Johnny Simmons has joined the project that already stars Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Nina Dobrev and Mae Whitman. We call that a great team!

Chbosky wrote the screenplay from his own 1999 novel that soon became one of the top ten most-banned books by the American Library Association.

John Malkovich is independently producing Chbosky’s project which tells the story of a teen who assumes the alias “Charlie” (Lerman), and describes the various events of his high school life in letters to an anonymous person.

Watson stars as Charlie’s friend Sam, while Whitman is set to star as Mary Elizabeth, “the tattooed vegetarian first girlfriend of Charlie”. At this moment, still no details about Simmons’ character, but we’ll keep an eye on it!

Nina Dobrev

Stephen Chbosky’s adaptation of his novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower is coming, and we’re here to report that the cast of this one is getting bigger (and prettier by the way!). The cast already includes Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Mae Whitman, but according to the latest reports, Nina Dobrev, who you probably remember from The CW’s The Vampire Diaries has joined the cast as well!

Dobrev is set to star as character named Candace in a story “about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs.”

Whitman is set to star as Mary Elizabeth, character described as “a tattooed vegetarian who acts as the protagonist’s first girlfriend.”

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Michael Cera

The first official photos of “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” a big screen adaptation starring Michael Cera, have been released. Click the images below to enlarge.

“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” official synopsis: Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for totally average garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams…literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass–and now is back in town–to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
