Claire Danes in "Shopgirl"Claire Danes in "Shopgirl"Harold Wexler on the Planet Claire Mailing-List discovered the following news article from Hollywood Reporter:
Danes in market for 'Shopgirl' at Lakeshore Ent. Oct. 16, 2002 Claire Danes is in negotiations to star in the title role of Lakeshore Entertainment's romantic comedy "Shopgirl" for director Anand Tucker. The project, based on Steve Martin's best-selling novel of the same name, is slated to begin in late January in Los Angles, with Martin also starring. A domestic distributor is expected to come aboard shortly. "Shopgirl" would see Danes star as Mirabelle, a disenchanted salesgirl and aspiring artist who sells gloves and accessories at Neiman Marcus. She has two men in her life: wealthy divorcee Ray Porter (Martin) and struggling musician Jeremy. Mirabelle falls in love with the glamorous Ray, and her life takes a magical turn, but eventually she realizes that she must empower herself and make a choice between them. Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing from a script by Martin, who will executive produce. Danes, repped by UTA and manager Michael Aglion, is onscreen in United Artists' "Igby Goes Down." Upcoming projects include Miramax Films' "The Hours" and the Warner Bros. Pictures-distributed "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."

oh....my....god.....
Really? There's going to be a Shopgirl movie? Really? Starring Claire Danes and Steve Martin? Really?  I can't believe it. That's me. I mean, I'm not the only person who has identified themselves with Claire Danes as Angela, and because I've done this, I've either consciously or unconciously identified with other characters she has played. I fell in love with Steve Martin's "Shopgirl." One of my favorite books! And not to mention the fact that I have a BIG CRUSH on Steve Martin. Oh man I can see it now - I'll watch that movie imagining that I'm Claire Danes (or the character she's playing), just like I watched MSCL and imagined that I was Angela. OOOOH I can't WAIT! The people over on the message boards at stevemartin.com think Claire is too young to be playing Mirabelle. Mirabelle is a 28 year old who looks like she's 24. Let's see...Claire will be 24 this spring, right? Who looks more like a 24 year old than a 24 year old! Anyway, some of their choices were really odd - one of them said Natalie Portman (who definately IS too young) and another said Julia Roberts (who is definately too old). Sort of like Goldilocks' porridge: Claire would be just right for the role!
people actually use that word? fantastic. Anti AU Petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/AU2/
The latest news!
Jimmy Fallon is unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts (he is currently filming Taxi - originally Shopgirl was set to begin filming in January 2003) so Jason Schwartzman is now playing the role of Jeremy. According to imdb.com, Bridgette Wilson is now on the cast list but her character's name is unspecified. She is probably playing Lisa (or possibly the omniscent female narrator). Shopgirl is now being financed by Disney (Lakeshore Entertainment was the original financier). Chase Cat posted pictures from filming here. Natasha aka candygirl :: MSCL.com
Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer. You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?
It seems Jeffery Wells' Hollywood Elsewhere (http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com) is claiming that Shopgirl will now see a release in Fall of 2005 (as opposed to the previous Q1 2005 release). I'm guessing this is good news, in the sense that most studios release films that they see as award contenders towards the end of the year rather than the beginning... hopefully that's the case here.
Also, does anyone have the early pictures from filming on Shopgirl that Chase Cat posted a while back (I believe they were from the now apparently defunct "It's All About Claire" website)? If so, would someone mind hosting them and posting them here? I'd really appreciate it.

Here's one picture... I don't know where to find more. Sorry! Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.
~~Kristin~~ Claire Danes goes shoppingSadly, Maura's Claire Page is gone. But maybe I can help out. Do you mean those? Apparently the photos were taken while filming. Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5 Pic 6 Pic 7 I put this larger ones up. I will host them for a limited time (say end of January). Patty to Graham: You always buy the cat nicer food than I do.
