Keira Knightley is in talks to star in Laggies. The Anna Karenina actress is reportedly set to take on the lead role alongside Sam Rockwell and Chloe Moretz in the film, replacing Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway, who had previously been in negotiations for the project. However, the Devil Wears Prada actress’ work on Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi film Interstellar will overlap with production on Laggies, meaning she was unable to commit.
The film follows a young woman who reacts badly to her boyfriend’s marriage proposal. She tells him she is off on a business retreat, but instead hides out with her new friend, 16-year-old Annika. Laggies has been written by Andrea Seigel and will be directed by Your Sister’s Sister filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Steve Golin, Alix Madigan and Rosalie Swedlin are producing for Anonymous Content.
