Elle Fanning Takes Lead in Max Minghellas Teen Spirit
Elle Fanning is set to star in Teen Spirit, the directorial debut of actor Max Minghella, it was announced Friday. Fanning will play a shy teenager, living in a small European town, who dreams of pop stardom as a means5b4 of escaping her dismal surroundings and shattered family life. Minghella also wrote the screenplay.
The film, which was first announced at the end of January, is being introduced to buyers by international sales agent Mister Smith Entertainment at the European Film Market during the Berlin Film Festival. CAA is arranging financing for the film and will represent North American distribution rights.
Its an absolute thrill to be collaborating with Elle on this project. Along with an extraordinary singing voice, she brings an emotional complexity to this character which is invaluable, said Minghella.
Fanning, currently on screen in Mike Mills 20th Century Women and Ben Afflecks Live by Night, recently finished shooting Sofia Coppolas remake of The Beguiled. She most recently starred alongside Logan Lerman in Shawn Christensens Sidney Hall, which saw its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last month.
Other upcoming films include John Cameron Mitchells How to Talk to Girls at Parties, alongside Beguiled co-star Nicole Kidman, and the title role in Haifaa Al-Mansours Mary Shelley, opposite Douglas Booth. She is currently shooting crime thriller Galveston, directed by French actress-turned-director Melanie Laurent.
Fred Berger and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones serve as producers on the film with Jamie Bell, who developed the scre111cenplay with Minghella, acting as executive producer. It is a co-production of Interscope Records, Automatik, and Blank Tape.

What films has Elle sung in? I haven't seen any where she does. Now that Elle has joined Teen Spirit will see drop out of one of her other projects? Maybe Beware that Girl? If schedule conflicts occur.

Now that Elle has joined Teen Spirit will see drop out of one of herb68 other projects?
As far as I know, there isn't that danger.
Galveston
is shooting right now.
I Think We Are Alone
now is slated for March.
Teen Girl
for the summer.
All the Bright Places
was supposed to start shooting in January, but I guess it has been postponed once again.
Maybe Beware that Girl?
Beware That Girl
doesn't even have a screenwriter or director yet. So that project is very early in development.
Cease to exist boy
