Seth Green and Ashley Greene cast in Peter Facinelli's Grace Period
Seth Green and Ashley Greene have been cast in new romantic comedy 'Grace Period'.
The two Hollywood stars will take the lead in director Peter Facinelli's new film, which will be offered to potential buyers at Cannes Film Festival this month with production set to start in August.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will follow a woman called Willa (Greene), who makes an impulse decision to freeze her eggs.
She's helped by Dr. Rubin (Matt Walsh), but things take a turn after she meets her dream man Greg (Green) and is forced to try to make things work.
Filmmaker Facinelli previously acted with Greene in the 'Twilight Saga', while he starred with Green in classic 1998 teen comedy 'Can't Hardly Wait'.
The script for 'Grace Period' was written by the director's real life partner Lily Anne Harrison.
Facinelli said in a statement: "I'm thrilled to be back in the director's chair for Grace Period, a film that explores a timely subject matter with heart, while delivering some much-needed laughter in the world today.
'Having known Seth and Ashley for what feels like an 'eternity,' I Can't Hardly Wait to helm their incredible talent onscreen together.
"With Wango Films and Peter Winther producing, and a stellar supporting cast, we're creating something truly special that audiences are going to love.'
Greene and Facinelli's 'Twilight' franchise co-star Jackson Rathbone - who played Jasper Hale - recently revealed there is a secret unreleased blooper real from the movies which shows lead actress Kristen Stewart dropping a string of expletives.
He told Collider: "There was one time where they put out a special blooper screening—I think this is for 'Breaking Dawn' or 'Eclipse'—where it was just every time Kristen curses. It was like, when she's messing up her lines… It's like eight minutes long. It is amazing."
Meanwhile, Greene - who played Alice Cullen - revealed that she and co-star Facinelli "got into trouble" for messing with a lifesize doll that was meant to be a version of Kristen's character Bella Swan.
She said: "Peter and I also got in trouble for playing with a life-sized doll of a dead Bella."
Peter added: "They were shooting on stage, and we had to wait until their scene was over, but then all of a sudden I bumped into this table, and there's a life-sized Kristen Stewart laying on the table.
"They made a doll for when she breaks her back. It looked exactly like her, so I bumped into it and I was like, 'Sorry, Kristen.' "

Ridley Scott reveals the genre of film he still wants to direct
Ridley Scott always tries to "get his way" on set. The 87-year-old moviemaker has helmed classics such as The Martian, Thelma and Louise and titles like House of Gucci in more recent years but admitted when asked about wanting to "fix" anything he has done that he often is just ready to move onto the "next case" by the time one project is finished. He told Collider: "That's a tough question because I tend to do quite big movies. By the time they finish these scale movies, you're like, 'Enough! "Right?' Next case.' So, you're starting to weaken. To me, it's like a sport. You can't weaken, otherwise you're gonna get beaten. I will go to the last dying argument to try and get my way. Then there's a moment where you think, 'You know what? F*** it. Go for it.' But the thing I love about all the platforms, and I started to love about discs, but we're way beyond that now, is my film, which is now 50 years old, called The Duellists. It runs every night online. So, to me, instead of being buried somewhere in some dark vault, it's very healthy to see it out there still playing." Despite his years in the film industry, Scott revealed that he still wants to direct a Western or a musical. He said: "If they're good enough, and you know it's not the moment because everyone's afraid of it, you keep it sitting, waiting, and then come back. So, I have a Western, which is the best Western I've ever read. It was on a shelf of an author who had died. It's from his estate. We tracked it. I bought the script, so I own it, and the moment will come to make it. So, I still have to do a musical. I still have to do a pirate movie. I still have to do a Western."

Rap star Logic was determined to become a film direclt
Logic is determined to have a career in filmmaking. The 35-year-old rapper - whose real name is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II - has been known for his contribution to the music industry but recently helmed the comedy-drama Paradise Records and claimed that "nothing will stop" him from exploring his new career. He told Collider: "Nothing will stop me from making films. I'm going to make movies, and I'm going to do it my way. I will have full creative control and final cut, or you can eat my ass. This is my mentality because we, as creatives and artists, are told, 'No and no, and this is why, XYZ.' F*** that s***. Because if you don't want to give me the money, I'll just go do it myself and then I will sell it or make money from it. That's not arrogance. That's, 'F*** you for telling me no so long that I thought I couldn't do it,' and then woke up one day after Kevin Smith spit in my face and was like, 'Do this!'" The Under Pressure hitmaker added that he has before "kind of lost" within himself in the last few years, and he was "terrified" to jump ship so he could be behind the camera. He said: "For the last five years, or at least for three of those years, I was kind of lost, trying to figure out what I wanted to do. It always kept coming back to film, like, 'Make film, make film' because I was so terrified to do it. So being able to talk to you gives me this feeling that I had when I was younger — not like I'm trying to chase like a crack pipe or anything, but it's a fun feeling is what I'm saying."

Mindy Kaling's 'superstitions' influence her acting career
Mindy Kaling's superstitions have stopped her from appearing in Never Have I Ever. The 45-year-old actress co-created the hit Netflix series, which is set in the San Fernando Valley in California, and Mindy has now revealed why she didn't cast herself in the show. Mindy - who previously co-created The Sex Lives of College Girls - told The Hollywood Reporter: "A show literally about an Indian American family in southern California, and if I wasn't on that - what's wrong with me? "I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'" Despite this, Mindy plans to return to acting soon. She shared: "I miss it. I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon." Mindy would actually love to combine acting and directing in the coming years. She said: "I would love to do that again. "That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again." Mindy previously admitted that she feels most comfortable writing about "strivers and dorks". The Hollywood star is a huge fan of the X-rated drama series Euphoria - which stars the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney - but Mindy doubts she could write a similar type of TV show. Mindy - who recently co-created the sports comedy Running Point - told The Hollywood Reporter: "I love Euphoria' and I think [creator] Sam [Levinson] is like a genius. I think he has a lot to say about things like sex and drug use and addiction and those are incredibly interesting, but we don't have a ton of experience in that. "I watch that show on the edge of my seat, vicariously, but I feel like nerds lusting over guys is more what we feel comfortable writing about so that's why we do this. We write about strivers and dorks and people who are underestimated."
