Amanda Seyfried joins Albert Nobbs

Amanda Seyfried will be lending her beautiful looks and charm to a Glenn Close produced period film set in 19th century Ireland called Albert Nobbs. I hope she can do a convincing Irish accent!

Seyfried is becoming the new it girl, and Variety reports that she’s just joined the cast of Albert Nobbs, based on a script by, of all people, Glenn Close. More on that in a second. Seyfried comes aboard the project with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Orlando Bloom, Michael Gambon, and Janet McTeer for director Rodrigo Garcia.

Close is also producing the film, which helps explain the writing gig, but she also starred in a stage adaptation of this story and will appear on screen, too, “as a woman who must pass as a man to survive life in 19th century Ireland.”

Glenn Close in drag? No, that’s not what got my attention for this project. Amanda Seyfried did.

That girl is just hitting it so big right now seeming to be scooping up roles everywhere. I like that she is emerging as far more than her ditzy teen roles and didnt just fall into romcom hell.

Seyfried can next be seen in Chloe as a seductress.
