Indie darling Zoe Kazan and newly popular TV star Jake Johnson will star in offbeat comedy “The Pretty One”, according to Deadline. Jenee LaMarque wrote the Black List script and will make her feature directorial debut on the film, with shooting scheduled to begin on June 1st.
Kazan will play an awkward young woman who assumes the identity of her dead identical twin sister, who was seen as the “perfect” one, but when she falls for Johnson’s character, the next door neighbor of her late sister, she finds herself wishing she could go back to living her old life.
Johnson, who plays lovable grouch Nick on Fox’s new hit series “New Girl”, was last seen on the big screen in Sundance premiere “Safety Not Guaranteed”, rom com “No Strings Attached” and Max Winkler’s “Ceremony.” Kazan, a prolific writer and actor on stage, recently co-wrote and co-starred opposite Paul Dano in “She Loves Me” from the directors of “Little Miss Sunshine” and is attached to star in Joss Whedon-scripted fantasy romance “In Your Eyes.”
