Leighton Meester has signed on for a thriller called The Roomate for Sony. Meester will become the target of an obsessed dormmate.
The story follows Sara (Meester), a college student who is randomly assigned to a freshman dorm with a stranger named Rebecca. Things turn deadly when Rebecca becomes obsessed and begins targeting people in Sara’s life.
I really enjoy looking at Leighton Meester. The girl has classic good looks and a physical presence that makes me all tickly inside like climbing the rope in gym class.
I also think that Meester has the chops to take on a role like this that might break her out of her post teen soap stereotype. They have yet to cast the crazy stalker roomate, but I think this type of movie is easy to build some suspsense and have some loon harass the crap out of her until she finally figures out what to do about it.
