Dakota Fanning will spend the time she has left on earth with Jeremy Irvine, according to Screen Daily, who reports that the two young stars will topline “Now Is Good”, based on Jenny Downham’s novel “Before I Die”, about a terminally ill teenage girl’s desire to experience life to the fullest before she dies.
Ol Parker will direct and Paddy Considine and Olivia Williams will co-star alongside the youngsters, presumably playing Fanning’s parents who struggle with setting limits on a teenager with so little time to experience things like sex, drugs and adventure. Irvine will most likely play the boy next door with whom she falls in love, though no further details are given.
Irvine is the famously hand-picked star of Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated “War Horse” and will next take on Charles Dickens’ iconic young hero Pip in Mike Newell’s new adaptation of “Great Expectations”. Fanning took a brief hiatus for the sake of her education but is now back in full force, recently signing on for “Very Good Girls” opposite Elizabeth Olsen. She is currently filming “The Motel Life” opposite Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff and will next head to the deep South for “Mississippi Wild”, a jewelry robbery actioner starring Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker.




that boy has no idea how lucky he is to be with dakota
Any idea when “Now Is Good” will film? Not scheduled yet? The first I read about this movie was something posted back in March 2010.
Also, from a local news source in Nevada, where “The Motel Life” was filming, I got the impression that shooting was completed around March 11. Right?/Wrong?
From your article of Feb 16, filming for “Mississippi Wild” was to start in March. A Variety artice of Feb 16 had production starting March 21 in Atlanta. Even though the full cast and crew seems well fleshed out at IMDb, I’ve seen no news about this movie for, I believe, several months. Is filming for “Mississippi Wild” already done? I’m wondering if “Wild” or “Good” or both or neither will be shot this summer, after Dakota graduates in a few weeks?
OK! Found a story which has “Now Is Good” “Due to start shooting in July…”
