And didn't Mischa shoot Don't Fade Away in New Jersey as well?

Mischa filmed Don't Fade Away in North Carolina, in Asheville in the mountains. Part of the movie filmed in New York, but I'm not sure she filmed there since her character is from Asheville.

Thompson tops 'Sophomore' class

NEW YORK -- Reece Thompson has landed the title role in the Yari Film Group's dark comedy "The Sophomore" opposite Mischa Barton and Bruce Willis.

Thompson -- who can be seen today in Picturehouse's "Rocket Science" -- will play a bullied Catholic high school newspaper reporter who is persuaded to investigate the theft of SAT exams by the most popular student (Barton). But after he reveals that the school's president and top jock are responsible, a more sinister conspiracy emerges.

Willis will play the school's twisted principal, a Desert Storm veteran who can't let go of his glory days in Kuwait. Willis' daughter, Rumer, will play the sidekick to Barton's character.

First-time feature director Brett Simon is now filming "Sophomore" in New Jersey through mid-September.

Thompson was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize at January's Sundance Film Festival for his role in "Science." He will appear in the upcoming indie drama "Afterwards."

Thompson is repped by WMA and Vickie Petronio at Play Management.

Filming for about a month. Cool

I was WONDERING when that casting was going to be announced. They really cut that one down to the wire, but it looks like he's a good indie actor, so that's cool. He and Mischa'll have that in common.

I'm really excited for this, great supporting cast + Bruce + Mischa = AWESOME movie. Plus Mischa's hair rocks right now, even more reason for it to be awesome!

I saw Die Hard 4.0 the other day. Good movie

Mischa should do an action movie soon.

But he WAS aware of one thing.......the fact that Mischa Barton lives there now

The user meeshhead at m-f.com called the Chief of Police of Hoboken. Who wasn't aware of any Bruce Willis movie filming there, but did know where Mischa now lives, lol.

And anyone live near NJ? Because you could have been an extra in the movie

They're going to be filming at Bayonne High School for the next 3 weeks.

*flies to NJ*

I'm really interested to see Bruce and Mischa go toe to toe in a role like this; Francesca seems very rebellious and so I imagine she'll butt heads with the principal.

CreekFreak · 08-12-2007, 03:30 PM

I'm excited for this! I miss Miiischa!
