Gemma Arterton Gets Competitive, Then Violent In ‘The Wright Girls
While producers originally wanted Megan Fox for the role, THR says that Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans and the forthcoming Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) is in negotiations to star in The Wright Girls, a dark comedy-thriller from Relativity and Atlas Entertainment.
As Bloody already exclusively reported back in February, Andy Fickman is in negotiations to direct with Bert Royal (Easy A) penning the screenplay.
Inspired by the Japanese movie 2LDK, “the story revolves around two young actresses who live together, pretend to be best friends and are co-stars on a successful television show. In reality, they detest each other and go to extreme and violent lengths to do one another in when they end up competing for the same movie role.” The role of the other actress has not been cast.

Curry Barker’s career is exploding with possibility in the wake of Obsession‘s box office success, but Curry Barker isn’t the only one in the Barker family making horror movies.
The Hollywood Reporter informs us this afternoon that Curry Barker’s father Jeff Barker is going to be writing and directing a horror short starring comedian Dane Cook!
The short is titled Medium Rare, and Lesley Ann Warren will also star.
THR details, “The film follows a man trapped inside a bar, where reality begins to unravel in increasingly disturbing ways. Production is expected to begin in Los Angeles later this summer.”
“Medium Rare is a short story I wrote eight years ago. I’m honored by the team of people helping me bring this project to life,” Jeff Barker said in a statement shared by the outlet.
Jeff Barker is a screenwriter in his own right, credited as the script consultant for Obsession. He even wrote the Hansel & Gretel monologue memorably delivered by Inde Navarrette.
