Here are the articles about the movie:


Alexis Bledel for Ticket to Ride

Fox Atomic has picked up Alexis Bledel to star in the college comedy Ticket to Ride.

Directed by Vicky Jenson off a script by Kelly Fremon, Ticket to Ride will follow Ryden Malby, a college grad who is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family while she attempts to find a job, the right guy and some direction for her life.

The film has been given a small budget -- $15 million -- but what do you expect from a college comedy?

Bledel can next be seen in the sequel to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Different article, but basically the same content

'Gilmore' Girl Gets 'Ticket to Ride'
Alexis Bledel will star in FOX Atomic comedy

Viewers will finally get a chance to see what happened to Rory Gilmore after college.

Well, not exactly.

Alexis Bledel has signed on for the lead in "Ticket to Ride," a post-college comedy from Fox Atomic.

Vicky Jenson, one of the directors on "Shrek" and "Shark Tale," will make her live action debut on the project, working from a script by Kelly Fremon.

"Ticket to Ride" focuses on a young woman who has to move back home after college, dealing with her wacky family and trying to figure out her next step in life.

Bledel is best known for her seven season run on The WB and The CW's "Gilmore Girls." On the big screen, she has appeared in "Sin City," "Bride and Prejudice," plus "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and its upcoming sequel.

I threw the sides for the movie into a zip file over here. Note that some have been merged and others haven't - the reason for this is because they were from different drafts of the script so had colliding page numbers.

And forgot to say. Glad she's getting work and good to see her is a lead. Just hopefully nothing too saccharine.

Bringing over an article that Courtney posted over at the news thread:
Quote:
"Friday Night" star on squad for "Survival" comedy'

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Friday Night Lights" star Zach Gilford is in final negotiations to play the love interest of Alexis Bledel in the comedy feature "The Post-Grad Survival Guide."

Former "Batman" star Michael Keaton, veteran comedian Carol Burnett and Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro also are joining the cast. The project is set up at the 20th Century Fox's lowb-budget Fox Atomic division.

Bledel ("Gilmore Girls") plays a college graduate who is forced to move back home with her eccentric family while trying to find a job, meet the right guy and figure out where her life is headed.

Gilford is best known for his role as quarterback Matt Saracen on the critically acclaimed NBC sports drama, which has shuttered production because of the writers strike.

There's no word on what roles Keaton and Burnett will play. Santoro ("300," "Lost") will play a neighbor to whom Bledel's character confides.

Vicky Jenson ("Shrek") is directing the comedy, which is scheduled to begin filming Monday in Los Angeles.

I'm really exicted about these news! What do you guys think of the cast so far?

Edited the title since the title of the movie had changed. I like this one better.
