Greta Gerwig's lined up a new project - she's going to be one of three female leads in Damsels in Distress, the new dark comedy by Whit Stillman (who really hasn't made a movie since The Last Days of Disco, if you can believe that), and tell me if you can't stop smiling after reading this plot description, cuz I sure can't:"The story follows a dynamic trio of liberal arts college girls who take in a new student and teach her their own misguided ways of helping people. ways which are used as a coping mechanism for their various failed college romances. Gerwig will play one of the three girls who aim to "prevent suicides through the powers of 30's song-and-dance numbers."
The joy inherent in that last sentence is instantly overwhelming. Greta doing retro song-and-dance numbers? Why yes, I will swallow that right up, thank you.
