Only on the internet can you have so many friends and be so lonely. True story guys! Ok, I know this is probably not something that will have your full attention, but I find this story interesting so here we go! Britt Robertson, probably best known from The First Time rom-com, will star as the lead in an upcoming indie drama Undiscovered Gyrl, which comes from Allison Burnett.
And when I say – it comes from, I mean that Burnett will direct the whole thing, and the movie will be based on his own novel of the same name that was published by Vintage Books in 2009.
The movie will center on an emotionally-troubled and imaginative high school graduate who decides to take a year off before college and start a blog as her life begins to spiral out of control. As you already guess, Robertson is on board to play that girl, named Katie Kampenfelt, and just in case you want to hear even more details about this project, here's an official synopsis for Bunett's novel:
Beautiful, wild, funny, and lost, Katie Kampenfelt is taking a year off before college to find her passion. Ambitious in her own way, Katie intends to do more than just smoke weed with her boyfriend, Rory, and work at the bookstore. She plans to seduce Dan, a thirty-two-year-old film professor.
Katie chronicles her adventures in an anonymous blog, telling strangers her innermost desires, shames, and thrills. But when Dan stops taking her calls, when her alcoholic father suffers a terrible fall, and when she finds herself drawn into a dangerous new relationship, Katie's fearless narrative begins to crack, and dark pieces of her past emerge.
See, I told you this could look cool! Especially now when we have Robertson as that crazy bitch. Described as sexually frank, often heartbreaking, and bursting with devilish humor, Bunett's novel definitely deserves a big screen adaptation.
Who agrees?
Great book and awesome movie a must see !! Fun and entertaining younger generation will love it
