Topher Grace graduates from the ’70s to the ’80s
Topher Grace will make his next film “Kids in America,” about one night in the lives of a group of recent college grads in the late 1980s. Jackie & Jeff Filgo (”That ’70s Show”) co-wrote the script with Michael Dowse, who will direct. “Kids” follows Matt Franklin (Grace), an aimless college grad who pursues his dream girl at a wild Labor Day weekend party. He, his twin sister and their best friend struggle with their burgeoning adulthood over the course of the night. The film is targeted to go into production February in Phoenix, Arizona. Grace will then star opposite Seann William Scott in Greg Coolidge’s comedy “Coxblocker,” slated for an April production start. In Coolidge’s script Grace plays William Cox, who has trouble with women until he finally meets the girl of his dreams. The trouble is her best friend is her ex-boyfriend (Scott). Little does he know that the ex-boyfriend is trying to get back together with her — so while our hero, Grace, is trying to hook up with her, Scott is blocking him all along the way. The girl has no idea.
