Paris Hilton Given a Second Chance at Acting
The actress scheduled to star with Pee Wee Herman in new film.
Indie filmmaker Todd Solondz has cast Paris Hilton in his Happiness sequel, announces the Hollywood Reporter.
The film, which will be financed and produced by the Minnesota-based Werc Werk Works, will also star Allison Janney, Charlotte Rampling, and Paul Reubens. Hopefully this unique casting will solve many of the film's recent problems. The as of yet unnamed movie was scheduled to go into development in June of 2007, but was cancelled because of money problems.
It is described as a dramatic comedy and is rumored to be named "Life During Wartime." As the title suggests, it will focus on a family life during a war.
Indiewire has the official summary, which reads: "The characters in this film struggle to find a place for themselves in an unpredictable and volatile world. The past haunts the present and imperils the future: ghosts circle and loom, trouble and console. The question of forgiveness, and its limits, threads throughout a series of intersecting love stories, offering clarity and, possibly, alternatives to the comforts of forgetting."
