Pushing Daisies

I keep another blog here in the 451 Press Network and I had just written an entry on Amy Adams, who was once a guest star on The Office. Reading up on her profile, I learned that she’s starring in a movie called, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, which I have never heard they were filming (or have already finished production) until I checked her IMDb.

Lee Pace, who sports a mustache for this movie and talks in a a crisp English accent, plays Michael, one of Amy Adam’s character’s her love interest.

The movie, which is a movie adaptation of of the book written by Winifred Watson actually stars Academy Award Winner Frances McDormand, as Miss Pettigrew. The story is described as a “Cinderella fairy tale set in the 1930’s”….and if you’re like me who loves any good Cinderella story, I am already anticipating this movie a whole lot. But it won’t be in theaters until Spring of 2008.

Here’s the synopsis of the story:

A sophisticated and heartfelt comedy…. In the 1939-set romantic tale, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand), a middle-aged London governess, finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job. An attempt to gain new employment catapults her into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Academy Award nominee Amy Adams). Within minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a heady high-society milieu – and, by the end of the day, discovers her own romantic destiny.
