I love Keri Russell (a guy friend actually introduced me to "Felicity" and it's much more enjoyable than I ever expected. just started the final season.) so I'm really excited to see their combined chemistry/acting talent.

Oh, and here's a link to a review of sorts. He seemed to quite like it. :)

Thanks for posting this, IHeart, I've been poking around all day trying to find news on "Waitress".
Fillion stock continues to rise. Excellent news!

You're welcome! I read somewhere that this one may be the next "Little Miss Sunshine." That would be amazing for Nathan. :)

"Waitress" is said to be the LMS of this year's Festival. And since LMS was nominated for an Oscar this morning... that's good company.

It sold to Fox Searchlight for $5 million which is excellent and means that it will be distributed and shown in theaters. So more Nathany goodness.

Congrats to cast and crew for a job well done and a word of respect for Adrienne Shelly, the director.
I wish she was here to see the success and share in the joy they must be feeling.

My fellow attendees of "Flanvention I" may recall that Nathan wasn't present on Friday. He was filming "Waitress" at that time.

It's nice to hear that the film is being well received. Yay Nathan!

This is great news! It sounds like my kind of film anyway, Nathan starring is of course a bonus

This is the kind of news that gives me hope as a regular film geek. It's one thing to see our BDH's to do guest appearances on sci-fi shows and small bits in mainstream movies. But it's another thing to see them being given the opportunity to do a part in something out of their range and while not mainstream, at least something more prestigious. So it's nice to see Nate in something like this or Gina Torrens as Chris Rock's wife in I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE, which if you've seen the trailers for looks like an actual intelligent romantic comedy.

Maybe if years down the line I do my BEFORE SUNRISE/SUNSET/TRUE ROMANCE pastiche and demand that Jewel and Sean be my leads, it wouldn't take that much to convince producers and investors.

Also, I'd like to see the film to see if it has that "swan song" quality. You know how when you watch EYES WIDE SHUT or A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION and you get that sense of a filmmaker pouring every last bit of his or her being into it because they have a sense that they'd be soon gone for good that makes the film all the more magical? I'd like to see if that's conveyed in WAITRESS.

Me too!! I love it!

Oh, and here is another great review at Cinematical. I love how she admits her silly Fillion fangirlness. ;)

Another quote from the above article

So let me just say that while I hadn't been familiar with Adrienne Shelly's work before this, I'm a big fan now. If there's a heaven, she's looking down and smiling. And eating pie.
