#96. EASY A
Director: Will Gluck
Writer(s): Bert V. Royal
Producers: Zanne Devine & Gluck
Distributor: Screen Gems
The Gist: Written by playwright Bert V. Royal, this tells the story of a good-natured high school student (Emma Stone) who uses the school rumor mill to financial and personal advantage by pretending to be the school slut.
Cast: Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci, Amanda Bynes, Cam Gigandet, Patricia Clarkson, Lisa Kudrow, Thomas Haden Church.
Why is it on the list?: There are plenty of reasons why I never considered seeing Gluck’s debut film (Fired Up), but there are a couple of good reasons to see his next directing gig, namely better source material (Bert V. Royal’s first screenplay, a 2008 Blacklist finalist is a riot) and a not too shabby supporting cast.
Release Date/Status?: Currently in post-production, perhaps a SXSW preem with a summer release?
