Dakota Fanning & Theo James Find Counseling in Andrew Renzi’s “Franny”

Deadline reports that indie starlet Dakota Fanning (who was just at TIFF supporting Night Moves, The Last of Robin Hood) and Theo James (who is about to breakout big with his role in Neil burger’s Divergent) have been tapped to play a couple in need of therapy/and are joining the already cast Richard Gere for Andrew Renzi’s Franny (newly titled Frannie?). Shooting begins this October in Philadelphia.

Gist: Richard Gere plays a fun-loving, hedonistic philanthropist who works his way into the lives of a newlywed couple of Olivia and Luke (Dakota Fanning and Theo James) to recapture the life he once had

Worth Noting: Along with Divergent, Theo James will also be seen in Mathew Cullen’s London Fields.

Do We Care?: Already a seasoned pro in the industry –  we like the direction Fanning is taking in her post Twilight career.  Fanning has moved towards work with indie auteurs with recent examples such as The Motel Life, Very Good Girls and Night Moves.
