She got to have a good piece of news before her untimely murder – she had learned that she had got accepted in Sundance – if she was here to find out yesterday’s news she would have been even more pleased. Adrienne Shelly's film was picked up by Fox Searchlight Pictures for a very cool $5 million.
Waitress tells the story of Jenna (Keri Russell) who is a pregnant, unhappily married waitress in the deep south. She meets a newcomer to her town and falls into an unlikely relationship as a last attempt at happiness. Recently, we last saw Shelly in front of the camera in Factotum and the film community remembers her for The Unbelievable Truth & Trust.
