Ryan Reynolds joins “Adventureland”
Ryan Reynolds and Kristen Stewart have joined the cast of the coming-of-age comedy “Adventureland.”
Jesse Eisenberg stars as an uptight recent college grad who is forced to take a degrading minimum-wage job at the local amusement park when he realizes he can’t afford his dream European tour. The experience helps him to loosen up a bit as he finds first love, forms new friendships and emerges with a newfound sense of maturity just in time to enter the real world in the fall.
Reynolds will play an aspiring rock star and the icon of cool to all the kids working at the park. Stewart will play the romantic lead, a tomboy who also works at the park.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin next month in Pittsburgh. Greg Mottola will direct the Miramax project.
Reynolds’ credits include “Smokin’ Aces” and “Van Wilder.” Stewart, who starred opposite Jodie Foster in “Panic Room,” will next be seen in Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild.”
