Salinger’s Celebutante

Zoey Deutch is sure leaving her ingénue days in the dust.

Barring the occasional misfire (for all involved), like Dirty Grandpa, the actress (TV’s Ringer) seems to be making quite the educated choices when it comes to her big-screen projects.

She’s about to be seen in Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!!, and she has signed on to co-star opposite Nicholas Hoult in Danny Strong’s Rebel in the Rye, a buzzy and much-anticipated biopic of reclusive American writer J.D. Salinger.

Deutch will play Oona O’Neill, the daughter of the playwright Eugene and a fixture of the New York City social scene once upon a time. She and Salinger enjoyed a tumultuous time together.

Because what would a film be without a little love drama.

Midnight Riderette

Zoey Deutch is flirting with It Girl status som’in’ fierce.

The former co-star of TV’s Ringer star is starring in next month’s kinda-trashy-looking Vampire Academy (which will probably be a modest hit – as most YA adaptations tend to be, in some form or another).

And she’s already lining ’em up like she means business.

Deutch is set to star opposite All-American Rejects’ Tyson Ritter (TV’s Parenthood), H-O-T up-and-comer Wyatt Russell, and William Hurt in the Greg Allman-directed biopic Midnight Rider, as a rock groupie who hails from a small town and winds up an Allman love interest.

No bad, huh.

Enrolling Vamp

The young-adult adaptation craze is far from over.

Up next is Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters, for which Zoey Deutch (TV’s Ringer) has been cast as the lead, a half-human girl named Rose who has a mental and spiritual bond with her vampire-princess BFF, Lissa.

The conflict comes when the two, both students at a special school for vampires struggling to retain some of their humanity whiles others become more and more feral.

Mark Waters (Mean Girls) is directing the movie this summer.
