Movie Buzz : Goonie Back Where She Belongs

Here's one for the John Hughes generation!

1980s screen sweetheart Kerri Green, best known for her role in Chris Columbus & Steven Spielberg's cult classic The Goonies, is making her return to film with a role that is already being touted as this year's American Beauty.

Titled Complacent, the drama is set to centre on two close sisters whose already tumultuous lives are rocked by tragedy.

The flick, to be helmed by It Waits and House Of 9 writer/director Steven R. Monroe, claims he wrote the film for specifically for Green having been a fan from his younger days.

"We all love The Goonies" adds producer Corey Jackson, "But this is something totally new for her".

"Some will be shocked by her turn here, others will be in awe".

That's some pretty big claims, but it seems the actress herself is also quite excited about taking on the role which is already receiving whispers of potential Oscar buzz in some Hollywood circles.

"I have always wanted to work with Steven, and when I read his script I was blown away!", says Green.

"I think Complacent hits a nerve that people try so desperately to avoid, which is what I love about his work" she went onto say.

Joining Kerri Green in the film are Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever), Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York), Christopher Showerman (George of the Jungle 2), Elisa Donovan (Clueless), Joey Kern (Super Troopers), and Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers).
