Three words. Teenage lesbian werewolf. Those three words are enough for anyone’s ears to perk up and say ‘what the f*ck?’ Apparently, Ellen Page and Olivia Thirlby (two young up and coming actresses who also starred in ‘Juno’) have been talking about the film project ‘Jack and Diane’ that they have been desperately hoping to get funding for.
FirstShowing.net gives us this synopsis and details:
Jack (Thirlby) and Diane (Page), two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.
Ellen and Olivia go on to talk more about why this isn’t in anyway an actual werewolf movie. Contrary to the way that it’s described, it’s more of a relationship drama. It just falls into the category of “lesbian werewolf movie” because that’s the simplest way to identify it amongst other indie dramas.
Wow…it actually shocks me that they haven’t found funding for the film, because this sounds so out there and strange, that I think a lot of people would just want to see this project just out of morbid curiousity. Honestly though, if Ellen Page is involved, I will definitely want to see it. She really caught my attention in last year’s ‘Hard Candy’, and she’s proving to be one of the youngest sought out actresses right now. (Even if this sounds like a ‘Ginger Snaps’ rip-off with lesbians :P)
