“New American Girl” Movie Starring Nia Vardalos

Nia Vardalos is definitely keeping herself busy with all the projects she’s working on. Fresh from writing a recent comedy “Larry Crowne”, which she co-wrote with Tom Hanks, she’ll be starring in a New American Girl movie.

The lead character will be played by newcomer Jade Pettyjohn, who’s appeared in the TV show United States of Tara and the movie is being produced by Debra Martin Chase. Production for this project will begin on July 11th in Vardalos’ hometown, Winnipeg.

American Girl is about a line of accessories and dolls, which were extremely popular with teen girls and is set  in the mid-2000s. It was tapped for screen adaptations. An American Girl was specifically made for theatrical release and the concept focuses on stories of various young heroines in different time periods.

Nobody has actually revealed the storyline of the new movie, but rumor has it that Vardalos will play Pettyjohn’s mother and this project is still casting.

Meanwhile, Nia is working with comedian Rob Riggle on a feature script set in the world of motivational speakers…well we’re actually motivated and waiting to find out more.
