Swank Producing "Laws Of Motion"

"Laws of Motion" is an upcoming feature, produced by actress Hilary Swank, set to start in Connecticut April 9, 2007.

Director is Charles H. Wurmfeld.


Premise of the story follows 'Morrie' and 'Betty', a repressed middle class couple living in a university suburb according to a 'conservative societal code', with Morrie quashing his rights to remain in good standing with his neighbors.

'Jay', Morrie's free-spirited youngest sibling and 'Ida', his mixed-up middle sister have various misadventures that threaten to jeopardize Morrie's financial security and upset the delicate balance of frustrated compromise his life has become.

Casting is still looking for:

Paul:

Mid 30s-40. Morrie's arrogant, neighbor and colleague. Morrie defers to Paul, bites his tongue, and swallows his pride because Paul has the power to get Morrie tenured at the University. This part is a Supporting Lead.

Laura:

Mid 30s-40. Paul's tightly coiffed wife, who conducts her picture perfect spouse role with seeming ease. Although she is close minded, with a brittle exterior, Laura has a vulnerable quality that softens her edges. This part is a Supporting Lead.

Gillian:

Late Teens-Early 20s. An urban hippie-child with a backpack, she is Jay's estranged wife who comes into Morrie's and Betty's lives at the precise moment when things couldn't get any crazier.

Gary:

Early-Mid 30s. Handsome, sensitive, former high-school football star and King of Homecoming. Ida's ex-boyfriend and the love of her youth, Gary is now crippled and engaged to be married.

Ellen Thomas:

Late 20s-Early 30s. Pretty and very plump, she is Gary's fiancé, who Ida meets after she pays Gary a visit. Much to Ida's chagrin, she is a sweet, person who Gary loves deeply and treats Ida with kindness.

Phil The Cop:

Mid 20s, any ethnicity and smoking hot, he is involved in a mad-cap chase sequence at the movie's climax, which culminates in him recognizing Ida as a former paramour.

Rollerblade Girl:

Late Teens-Mid 20s, beautiful, sexy, young fantasy woman on roller blades who tantalizes Morrie from afar. She looks like a model who can rollerblade.

Passenger:

A cute hitchhiker with a back-pack that Ida gives a lift to.
