You also have the thriller Pulse coming out July 14, and you've wrapped Fanboys?
Yeah! Oh my God, it's so funny. It's about these four guys who are in their mid-20s, it's 1998, and they decide to drive across country to break into [George] Lucas' ranch to steal [The Phantom Menace]...because one of their friends has cancer and probably won't be able to see the movie. I play this nerdy girl who works at the comic book store with them, is in love with one of them — played by Jay Baruchel [Undeclared] — and meets up with them halfway through the trip. Dan Fogler, who won the Tony for [The 25th Annual Putnam County] Spelling Bee, it's his first film, and Sam Huntington, who just played Jimmy Olsen in Superman Returns, is also in it. Seth Rogen [The 40 Year-Old Virgin] plays three different parts. There are a lot of good cameos, too: Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, William Shatner...
How about Lucas himself?
No, he may lend his voice, but we're not sure. But he let us shoot at the ranch. It was so much fun to make. And I get to wear a black wig — I'm like a Goth kind of nerd. It was really cool to depart from the blond.
Any other projects in the pipeline?
I have this movie called Double Wide. [Shooting] just moved to September and hopefully I'll still be able to do it. I auditioned a bunch, and I'm sort of waiting to hear back from a couple of things. But if not I'll have a relaxing summer in L.A.
Sounds good.
