Hayley Kiyoko Just Casted the Lead Roles for Her 'Girls Like Girls' Movie
On June 24 (aka the 10th anniversary of the music video), Hayley dropped major news about the upcoming flick and revealed which young actors would take on the lead roles of Coley and Sonya with a sweet social media post.
'Today is the 10 year anniversary of the release of 'girls like girls' - the music video. What a journey it's been, and continues to be. I am beyond grateful to all of you who have been on this wild ride with me since the very beginning,' the 'Curious' singer wrote, in part.
She continued, 'So here we are, a decade later, meeting the lead actors of our film for the first time. A film that up until now was just a crazy dream that has now come to life. 😭 Here are the moments when I finally got to share the exciting news with each of them. These girls' performances are going to blow you away. This is only the beginning…'
Per Deadline, the upcoming movie 'tells the universal story of falling in love for the first time and learning to accept yourself along the way.' Girls Like Girls will star Maya da Costa (Under The Bridge) as Coley and Myra Molloy (He's All That) as Sonya.
The original music video showcases a blossoming romance between two female best friends as one of them navigates a toxic relationship with a guy. It starred Stefanie Scott as Coley, Kelsey Chow as Sonya, and Hayden Thompson as Trenton.
Hayley and Stefanie co-wrote the screenplay of the upcoming film, while Marc Platt Productions, Michael Philip, Jason Moring, and Richard Alan Reid are set to produce.
Details on a release date are currently slim, but till then, we'll be reliving Hayley's classic video:

Sydney Sweeney is not Hitler. Do we have to do this over a jeans ad?
Until she speaks up about the absurd controversy swirling around her, it is hard to figure whether Sydney Sweeney is dreading it or enjoying it. It can't be fun to have your ad for jeans smeared as a Nazi dog whistle, but on the other hand, millions now know more about her than we would have otherwise. I was already aware of Sweeney as an 'it' girl of the early 2020s, but beyond her appearance in the first season of 'White Lotus' and her praiseworthy job hosting 'Saturday Night Live' last year, I had not consumed much of her work. While it contains a sleeper-hit 2023 rom-com ('Anything But You'), her résumé also includes some serious and successful turns at acting and, more recently, producing. While she cannot be dismissed as a shallow sex symbol, she has no intention of ignoring the role her appearance has played in her success. This is more than evident in her American Eagle jeans ad, which has caused some sectors of society to spin off the planet entirely. The 15-second clip that has occupied our lives for days contains her use of the homophones 'jeans' and 'genes.' A frame-by-frame recap: We see a pair of jeans worn by a reclining woman as the camera pans up to reveal she is buttoning them. As she begins speaking, the context suggests 'genes;' she says they are 'passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.' The camera pans up, across her denim jacket to her face, as she turns toward the camera and says, in the context of what she is wearing: 'My jeans are blue.' As are her eyes, which is the clever wink to the audience. Get it? As if there is any doubt as to the word play involved, big white letters fill the screen with an accompanying voice-over: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Well, yes, she does, whichever spelling you use. The double entendre is designed to draw attention to two things: the quality of the clothing and the attractiveness of the model. That second one is apparently a problem, at least for unhinged trolls. They find the genetics imagery instantly reminiscent of Hitler-era eugenics, and they are rattled to their core by a campaign that avoids the apparently necessary boxes that must be checked off in modern advertising. She is white. She is not overweight. She is clearly a woman and acutely aware of it. Three strikes, you're Hitler. Understand that the silly leap toward Third Reich stigma is wholly because American Eagle did not get the memo of what leftist cranks will and won't allow in ads these days. It is wonderful that people of all colors are now found in commercials. It is also good when people are called out for fat-shaming. But have these pendulums swung too far, from praiseworthy acceptance to obnoxious bullying? As recently as 2013, a Cheerios commercial featuring a mixed marriage drew a wave of online surprise. Now such representations are so ubiquitous that a comedian recently observed: 'I saw a commercial last night, and I had to pause it to make sure — the married couple was the same race!' It's as if the culture rushes to counterbalance past neglect but overshoots by miles. Take the issue of weight. Remember when models were too skinny and calls arose for portrayals that looked like 'real women?' That was good. But the recent fad has extended that standard from 'real women' to 'really large women.' And there's no harm in that, either. Beauty does not require a certain weight. But as it will do, the modern scolding community began to defame anyone who would dare suggest that obese people should lose weight. Lizzo, a profoundly talented singer who was also profoundly overweight, has begun a weight-loss journey that has attracted attacks from those who feel she has abandoned the movement to confer 'body positivity' at the expense of wise health advice. Into this crazy mix, insert an ad campaign featuring a famously beautiful actress who happens to be white, and who happens to meet what has forever been a valued standard for an attractive body type. In a world that says ads can feature all races and that beauty can be found in all sizes, this would be a non-issue, just one of countless ad campaigns that swirl around us constantly. But in these twisted times, any drop in the advertising ocean that does not conform to the obligatory trends of the moment must be dragged and mischaracterized. If there is a 1930s Germany analogy to be found in this story, it is not in the innocent content of the ad, but in the excesses of the woke Gestapo that seeks to silence any messaging that gets under its famously thin skin.

Nancy Meyers Reacts With Surprise to News of 'The Holiday' Limited Series
THE RUNDOWN On August 1, it was reported that Nancy Meyers's 2006 film The Holiday was in development as a limited series for Apple TV+ by Deadline. But it looks like Meyers had no idea about the new show and was quick to comment on the production in an Instagram Story. Sharing a screenshot of a report on The Holiday series, Meyers wrote over it, 'News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.' Here's everything we know about the project so far. In the original film, two women trade homes in the U.K. countryside and Los Angeles after struggling with their personal lives. Amanda Woods is a Hollywood trailer editor who ends her engagement and Iris is a newspaper columnist stuck in a rut. After trading spaces, Amanda meets Iris's widower brother, Graham, and surprises herself by reconnecting emotionally to love. Iris meets Amanda's neighbor, Arthur, a forgotten Hollywood icon, and then meets a film composer named Miles; both men help her transform. The series will likely be some version of Meyers's original story, keeping 'the setup of the movie about a single American and single British woman living very different lives who swap their houses for the holidays and find love in the process.' The original cast included Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black, but Deadline stated the show will feature 'new characters,' and thus new actors. But maybe we can hope for a cameo? Krissie Ducker is serving as the writer and executive producer for The Holiday series, along with comedian Rob Delaney as a consultant on the script. Not yet. This post will be updated.
