First Look: Abe Sylvia’s Dirty Girl

Date:

We’ve got your first look at Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich, Mary Steenburgen and Willam H. Macy in Abe Sylvia’s Dirty Girl. If it hasn’t been so far named for TIFF, then we can assume that this FTW road trip comedy is headed to Sundance, basically setting up cinephiles for a full year of Juno Temple – she’s got Little Birds, Jack and Diane both in the can, and is set to star in Paul W.S. Anderson’s The Three Musketeers, which reteams Temple with Jovovich.

Written by Sylvia (the script was a 2007 mentioned Black List screenplay), set in 1986. Norman, Oklahoma. Floral print jeans and abstinence are all the rage. Tasteless, classless, fatherless Danielle (Juno Temple) — the “dirty girl” of Norman High School — dreams of one day finding the father that ran out on her. When Danielle is banished to special ed, she teams up with a closet-case, Clarke (Jeremy Dozier), to go on a cross-country search for her father, fleeing the small town that has kept them both from being their true selves.
