Adam has a small part in the comedy "Smiley Face" which stars Anna Faris. It's also directed by Gregg Araki (who was nominated for Best Director for Mysterious Skin at the Independent Spirit Awards this year).

The cast list so far (according to IMDB):
Adam Brody .... Steve (attached)
John Cho
Anna Faris
Michael Hitchcock .... Laundry room guy
John Krasinski
Jane Lynch
Danny Masterson .... Steve The Roomate (attached)

Quote:

Synopsis from Ioncinema:
Written by Dylan Haggerty, Faris will play Jane, who by accident eats her psycho roommate's pot cupcakes. She spends the rest of the day desperately trying to replace the cupcakes, pay the gas bill, get to her audition and accompany her friend to the dentist.

Quote:

Synopsis from Killermovies:
The story centers on a young actress and hopeless slacker (Faris) who, after she inadvertently ingests her roommate's pot-laced brownies, attempts to manage her day as it goes awry through a series of misadventures.

Anna Faris' interview bits:

Quote:

Smiley Face, right?
Smiley Face, yes.

So you play a girl who eats pot brownies?
I eat a lot. I eat 12.

Wow. Did you have to do any research on this at all?
[Laughter]. Well I did go to college. But you know it’s a really great role. I’m really having the best time and I feel so lucky to be a young woman and being able to play a role like this. I feel like they’re always written for men.

What happens to her as she eats these 12 pot brownies?
Well, she goes to an audition and she tries to sell weed to a casting director and then after she’s she gets really paranoid she ends up finding the original manuscript that’s a communist manifesto by Karl Marx and tries to organise a union in a sausage factory – and many other adventures. It’s really fun. I’m just it’s just a very offbeat comedy and, I’m really having such an amazing time on it.

John Krasinski's interview bits:

Quote:

You have a couple other projects coming up as well...
The Office this year was just fantastic, and then I went right in to working on Smiley Face [a comedy directed by Gregg Araki]. — a sort of odyssey movie that Anna Faris stars in... And then I worked on Dreamgirls with Bill Condon, and I'm gonna be finishing up a small part in Holiday, which is Nancy Meyers' new movie.

....

Sounds like you've found your niche in comedy.
No, not at all, really. I mean, Smiley Face is funny, but it's on the line — it's a comedy for sure — but there's a lot of really interesting film aspects to it. I'm really not feeling one way or the other with comedy or drama, I'm just sort of doing projects that I've been finding really fun to be a part of....

No worries.

Anna said that she was going back to filming, but that was only the start/mid April, so I'm not sure if they're still filming. I'm sure Adam's already done his bit.

In all fairness, I think the plot sounds stupid, but summaries can be deceiving.

So I'll take a chance on it. But I'd probably see it anyway, cuz the cast are full of gifted comedians.

I think they were filming before April, but I think because Anna had to do promotion for Scary Movie 4, they stopped shooting for a bit. I dunno, I'm just assuming.

Thanks for the thread Jess. Should be a good movie.

The main attraction of this movie for me is the title of the movie. It's so random.

I don't know. Before they changed it, it used to be called Mary Warner of all names.
