Silverstone doing Elektra

Alicia Silverstone will make her return to the big screen in “Elektra Luxx”, a sequel to a film that hasn’t even found a distributor yet (now that’s audacity!).

“Women in Trouble,” an ensemble comedy about one day in the lives of 10 Los Angeles women, is the first chapter in a planned trilogy with “Luxx” being the second instalment.

“Clueless” cutie Silverstone will join Carla Gugino (reprising her role from “Women in Trouble”), Timothy Olyphant and Justin Kirk (TVs “Clueless”) for the Sebastian Gutierrez written/directed movie.

According to Variety, “Elektra Luxx” picks up the travails of the characters from the previous film a month later, again covering a full day. The original starred Gugino, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Adrianne Palicki, Marley Shelton, Connie Britton, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Simon Baker.

Gugino (“Sin City”, “Watchmen”) plays Luxx, a porn star whose life is turned upside down when she discovers she’s pregnant.

Gutierrez is planning a third installment tentatively titled “Women in Ecstasy.” Filming of the first sequel is under way, and all three pics are financed independently and produced by Gutierrez’s Gato Negro Films.
