After a spectacular award’s season at the SAGs, Emmys, & Golden Globes, Claire Danes (Temple Grandin) returns to the big screen as a mother of a teenager in As Cool As I Am, along with James Marsden (Hop) as the child’s father.
The Wrap reports that the movie “tells the story of Lucy Diamond, the teen daughter of self-centered parents who married when they were teens.” The script is based on Pete Fromm‘s coming-of-age novel and will be directed by the screenplay’s scribe Max Mayer (Adam– which starred Danes’ husband, Hugh Dancy).
While the role of Lucy has not been cast yet, perhaps we can see more of Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) or Elle Fanning (Somewhere).
Doesn’t it seem like not long ago Danes was a brooding redhead in My So-Called Life and Marsden was making a name for himself in Disturbing Behavior and Gossip.
As more details surface on this project, you can catch Marsden in the romantic comedy Nailed with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel. Danes is starring in the pilot for Showtime’s newest series Homeland, set to air this fall, with Mandy Patinkin and Damian Lewis.
