Jackie Earle Haley And Chloe Moretz Cast In DANCE OF THE MIRLITONS
Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), and Bailee Madison (Brothers, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark) have been cast in a new film called Dance of the Mirlitons.
The film also stars the previously cast Kristen Bell and was written by Evan Greenberg who also plans to direct. The story centers on an ambitious, slightly overweight ballerina with an overbearing mother (Bell) who will stop at nothing to become a star. The girl enters a Mean Girls-type environment when she has to prove her worth in class.
Madison will play the ballerina in the film. She was excellent in her role in Brothers. Moretz will play the ballerina that is Madison’s nemesis. Haley will star as the subtly sadistic Russian ballet teacher of the highest order.
I am a huge fan of Moretz and am very happy to see that Jakie Earle Haley continues to get good roles like this. Filming is planned to begin on this indie dark comedy next year. What are your thoughts on this casting news?
