Colorful Roles

The latest Two-fer One centers on a pair of plucky young females...



Hilary Duff has joined the cast of the new Polish Brothers comedy "Stay Cool" according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The story centers on a successful author (Mark Polish) who is forced to confront an unrequited high school crush (Winona Ryder) when he returns home to deliver a commencement address to graduating seniors. Duff will portray Shasta O'Neil, (she's named after a soft drink?) a sexy high school senior who flirts with the visiting author and invites him to the prom.

Michael Polish is directing. Filming begins in July in Santa Clarita, California...

Christina Ricci (one of my favorite actresses) will lend her voice for the lead role of the timid crayon Yellow in the animated film "The Hero of Color City" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Ricci plays one of several crayons whose colorful world is threatened by an evil tyrant. She is the first member of the cast to be announced for the film, which is now in pre-production and eyed for 2010.
