As some of you are aware, I will be visiting China for ten days beginning on the 10th. The people in charge of this group have assured us that we will have internet connection at our hotels and I am bringing my laptop. Even so, I imagine that I’m going to be extremely busy while there and may not have much time to update the site. If any major Amanda news happens I will be sure to post it. But from now until June 22nd, don’t expect any huge updates.
Last night, Amanda attended the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball. She looked super cute in a short black dress.
This project is looking better and better!! Here’s a short little article about the cast and plot from Cinematical:
When word about Easy A, otherwise known as The Scarlet Letter hits high school, it didn’t sound like the most desirable or charming comedy — a young woman pretends she’s promiscuous to get ahead. (yay) But now … Well, now there’s a killer cast merged with a plot summary that could easily make this a must-see film.
Variety reports that the comedy will, more specifically, follow a high school girl (Emma Stone) who, “after being ostracized by a false rumor she’s loose, uses the rumor mill to her advantage, pitting puritanical students and teachers against their liberal counterparts.” And who will some of these people be? Oh, just Lisa Kudrow, Alyson Michalka, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci, Penn Badgley, Cam Gigandet, Malcolm McDowell, and Daniel Bird. How’s that for a supporting cast? The fact that this is a teen comedy and not some star-ridden ensemble drama makes the roster all the more impressive.
Production kicks off on June 9, and hopefully that means we’ll get to see how it all turns out sooner rather than later.
Screen Gems has made a two-picture deal with Amanda Bynes.
The thesp will first co-star in the Will Gluck-directed comedy “Easy A,” and she and Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper will then craft a star vehicle for her second project.
Culpepper said that Bynes, who gained fame as star of Nickelodeon’s “The Amanda Show,” has been on his radar for some time.
“She’s one of the few who can make that graceful transition from kid to adult star because she has such strong comic chops,” Culpepper said.
Scripted by playwright Bert V. Royal, “Easy A” stars Emma Stone as a high school student who is victimized by a false rumor that she lost her virginity, until she exploits the rumor mill for her own benefit and becomes wildly popular. Bynes has signed on to play a puritanical high school queen bee. Zanne Devine and Gluck are producing.
We finally have a new Amanda sighting! She was spotted leaving the famous Jerry’s Deli in Los Angeles on May 30th and I’ve added eight HQ images to the gallery.
