Ivan Reitman’s Friends with Benefits may not have a new title yet but it could have a new star.
Thirlby is in talks to join the new Ivan Reitman comedy formerly titled Friends With Benefits, which has been described as “an inverse ‘When Harry Met Sally’ about two people whose no-strings-attached relationship is threatened when they begin to develop true romantic feelings for one another.” The movie stars Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman, Greta Gerwig, Kevin Kline, Ophelia Lovibond, and Ben Lawson. Thirlby will play Portman’s sister, Gerwig plays Portman’s brainy friend, and Kline plays Kutcher’s actor father
The cast sounds interesting, but most of all I am interested in Thirlby.
She is fast becoming my eyebrow raiser. This girl is not only a striking beauty, but she just demands a presence on screen.
She was my favourite part of New York, I Love You.
