Caffeinated Clint
Co-starring Liam Aiken and Sandra Oh
Hilary Duff is headed to Australia to make a film.
The teen moppet has signed to star in The Emancipation of Jonny’, opposite rising young actor Liam Aiken (“Stepmom”).
The film enravles on the journey of a 16 year-old teenager, as he faces the ultimate decision, balancing his dreams with his reality. Based on the true-life of 16 year-old director, Jonathan Nguyen, Jonathan Tyler (Aiken) struggles to live an ideal teenage life as he is constantly bombarded with strict parental expectations. Hilary Duff plays the role of Piki Little; an 18 year-old tourist from New Zealand, who comes into Jonathan’s attention on a completely random basis. The two share similar dreams, and the film portrays their journey as they slowly aim to fulfil it.
We’re told “The film is a heart-felt, emotional drama; one in which will be Hilary Duff’s most engaging yet – her metamorphosis from amateur to ‘Golden Globe nominated’ worthy actress.”
Sandra Oh, of Tvs “Grey’s Anatomy”, is also tipped for a role.
The film is currently in pre-production, and shooting will commence in Australia as of late 2007.
