Amy (Ben Banks!) #1: She's a former porn star. Hooray!!!




Introduction: We have had the amazingly talented Mischa Barton in St George
this week playing the role of AMY WARNER! She is the lead actress playing opposite Ben Banks!
It’s been ridiculously fun and awesome to see her bringing this character to life.

Top post is a little empty cause I'm actually struggling to find any press write-ups on this film.

This is a brief synopsis from an article in The Spectrum:
Quote:
The movie is about a slacker/stoner dude named Ben Banks (obviously) who finds a passion for journalism and a former porn star named Amy. Somewhere along the line, Banks makes friends with a massive polygamist mechanic, confronts a series of "bad guys" and makes efforts to turn his life around.
And a little more on Mischa's involvement:
Quote:
Banks says has enjoyed working with some “known-names” like Hardin, whom he describes as “super-rad” and “down to earth.” He’s also excited to shoot scenes with Mischa Barton of “The O.C.” fame, who plays the role of Amy, Banks’ love interest. Barton will be in town for the final week of shooting.

Although Banks says there is no “real Amy” in his life, he is optimistic about filming the kissing scenes opposite a famous actress.

“Pretty much looking forward to it,” he says with a grin.
Full article is here.

And a couple of tweets from Mischa's first day on set:
Quote:
- Mischa Barton on the movie set today and for the rest of the week. Wonder how she likes St. George….

- Mischa’s puppy Ziggy was making a little too much noise and had to be escorted off the set…. by Mischa…..crew got to dogsit! Ha!
Production on the movie started August 9th, while Mischa was only present on set for the final week. So I guess she started somewhere around the 23rd.

Also, all the social networking places seem to be looking at 2011 for a release date. Since this is an indie, we'll most likely be looking for it to make the rounds at all the festivals.

OK, despite saying she will be in town for the final week of shooting. She is the leading actress?

I think the entire movie is being shot over 3 weeks - so I guess Mischa can get through several scenes in a week.

ETA: Found some new tweets:

Well, the super blonde hair DOES make sense in this context, lol. Hopefully it tones down for her next movie! She looks adorable in that pic, and glad everyone is loving Ziggy!

Mischa wasn't involved. The host said she didn't want to be or something. And then Sal and Ben Lyons made fun of her for rather smokin' up on a boat instead of being with them, lol. It was strange.

Mischa's featured in this new image from the production blog. Kinda hard to see her but she's there, lol.



In St George again today filming a scene on the bluff! Day 16 of 18. This rad panoramic photo was taken by Lan Bui a few moments ago. Mischa Barton and Ben Banks can be seen on the hood of the jeep! A bit windy today, but crazy beautiful!
