Russell’s next feature, Old St. Louis.
The New York Magazine is reporting that she will play the part of Vaughn’s secretary, in a tale of an estranged daughter (rumoured to be played by Kick Ass’ Chloe Moretz), who gets the chance to reconnect with her father again after his long absence on the road as a travelling salesman.
O. Russell must be happy to get back in the directors chair so soon after his departure from the troubled production that was Nailed, and it’s nice to see Vaughn taking on a role in a smaller feature (around $20 million) – a contrast to his recent choice of bland, big-budgeted mainstream comedies.
If you are going to blog about movies you should get your facts straight – its not that hard! “Nailed” was filmed over two years ago. In summer 2010 O. Russell made “The Fighter” coming out in December. So he has hardly been away form the director's chair for very long.
