Ashley Greene and Thomas Jane Join Miley Cyrus in 'LOL'
As if these two actors didn’t already have enough going on this week! The Hollywood Reporter reported this morning that Twilight’s Ashley Greene and Hung star Thomas Jane are in negotiations to join the cast of LOL: Laugh Out Loud, starring Miley Cryus. The film is an English-language remake of the 2008 French comedy of the same name.
The film “centers on teenager Lola who is dumped by her more sexually experienced boyfriend while her divorcee mother struggles to move on with her life.” Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus star as the mother and daughter.Greene will play a high school bad girl, and Jane will be Cyrus' father. Other additions to the cast include Ashley Hinshaw, George Finn, and Douglas Booth as Lola’s best friend, ex-boyfriend, and new love interest, respectively.
As for Jane, who was nominated for a Golden Globe last year for his work in Hung, the actor is so dreamy that he can do no wrong. It will be fun to see him in a lighter subject matter than in Hung or the upcoming indie thriller Dark Country, which he also directed. Just as long as he continues to play reluctant male prostitute Ray Drecker in the entertaining HBO series (the second season of which premiered this past Sunday), I am content.
Liza Azuelos, who helmed the 2008 original, is directing the film, which is slated for release in Summer 2011.
