Woodley becomes a Descendant

Shailene Woodley is the latest to latch onto the new Alexander Payne directed project called The Descendant. The story revolves around an attorney, to be played by George Clooney, who is forced to get closer to his daughters after a family tragedy (Variety). Woodley will be playing the oldest daughter in the feature written by Jim Rash and Nat Faxon. The picture is actually based on a novel that’s written by Kaui Hart Hemmings that was published in 2008.

Payne’s previous directed work includes About Schmidt and the popular 2004 feature Sideways. Not only is he in the midst of pre-production work for The Descendants but he’s also announced to be attached to direct the novel adaptation of Fork in the Road.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
