February Girl

Now that AMC’s Mad Men is winding down, young actress/fashion plate Kiernan Shipka is turning her attention to film.

As well she should. There’s something about that girl I kinda dig.

Shipka has signed on to co-star opposite Emma Roberts in February, an in-the-works horror thriller about two girls who get left alone by their parents at their all-girls prep school during winter break, for some mysterious reason, only to see one of them become possessed by an unseen evil force.

I. Hate it. When that happens. Urgh.

Update: Shipka also has landed the daughter role in One & Two, an intense-sounding movie about a family of four hiding out their deep dark secrets living in peaceful isolation out in some mysterious farmhouse.

Grant Bowler (Syfy’s Defiance), Elisabeth Reaser (The Twilight Saga), and Timothée Chalamet (Showtime’s Homeland) round out that cast.
