Emma Roberts has just landed the lead in the upcoming project Hotel for Dogs. From Yahoo:
Emma Roberts is going to the dogs. The “Nancy Drew” star has signed on to star in the live-action comedy “Hotel for Dogs,” which revolves around two orphaned teenagers who hide dozens of stray dogs in an abandoned hotel.
Ok, first of all I’ve got to admit that I didn’t mind Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts last film). Yes it was cheese and sort of silly… but you have to keep the genre in mind, and even then I thought it had it’s charm. I didn’t love it by any stretch of the imagination… but I also thought it had its merit. Roberts has something a lot of younger actor miss…. CHARM. I found that Roberts charmed you in Drew.
This project, as simple as it sounds, already looks like it holds a lot of potential for Roberts to bring that charm out again. That becomes really key in films like this… and on that level could succeed. Will it ultimately work? Hmmm.. don’t know. But it does have a chance.
