I saw the sweet indie 500 Days Of Summer yesterday and the way the movie tells of how Zooey Deschanel’s character is so irresistibly cute, she does well in everything she does, with everybody she encounters, aligns with reality because there’s just something hypnotic about Deschanel. Just by staring at her, I feel like doing whatever she commands me to do.
According to Hollywood Repoter, Deschanel has joined the cast of YOUR HIGHNESS, a medieval comedy written by Danny McBride (Land of the Lost) and Ben Best a.k.a Chuck The Truck of Foot Fist Way, already starring James Franco (Pineapple Express) and Natalie Portman
The story of YOUR HIGHNESS is about two spoiled and arrogant princes in a medieval fantasy setting, forced to go on a quest to save their family and the kingdom after an evil wizard casts a spell on their father and kidnaps the older prince’s fiance. Portman plays a warrior princes, McBride’s love interest.. which caught me off guard, I thought Franco would get the bigger prize… but no worries, he’s got Deschanel as Belladona, Franco’s virginal bride.
Directed by David Gordon Green, production starts this month in Northern Ireland… lucky charm punks! I’ve always wanted to go there.
Knowing Franco, McBride and Best, I wouldn’t be surprised if this Irish medieval road trip had lots of weed-smokin’ leprechauns and Rogen’s cameo.
Zooey Deschanel & James Franco? That could be interesting. Both among my favorite actors of their generations. Still have doubts about the story otherwise.
Have you seen the new (500) Days of Summer poster on IMPAwards, Rama? It's great. One of the best of 2009 so far, imo.
Yup, I saw the poster.. one of the best.
The movie really got me, it's one of the best I've seen this year
