Greta Gerwig And Orlando Bloom Cast In ‘Lola Versus’

Variety gives up the synopsis like a waiter handing over a fragrant, filled to the brim cocktail:

Some foreign distribution sales will be going on soon at Cannes, and the film is set for a June shoot in New York, with Daryl Wein (Brekaing Upwards) directing from a script he co-wrote with Zoe Lister-Jones (Delocated, The Other Guys, Stuck Between Stations).

One question that might be pertinent here is: how are so many films getting made that put comic female characters front and center? And my ‘so many’ I mean ‘more than, like, two.’ It’s not like the market is yet saturated with films that star smart comic women in stories about smart funny women, but we’re seeing more than is sometimes the case. I don’t have any deep analysis of what might be a mini-trend to offer at this point, but ‘yay’ is probably good enough.
