Reports have come in that Emma Roberts is set to lead the upcoming comedy film ‘Hot Mess’.
“Hot Mess is a sharp, witty script that stood out to me as a fresh story of a woman finding her place in a world ruled by social media and outsized expectations,” director Katie Locke O’Brien said in a statement. “I am so eager to bring this to life with Emma as the perfect Laurel.”
This movie will mark the feature-length directorial debut for Katie Locke O’Brien, with Gabrielle D’ Amico serving as its writer. “It follows Laurel Mack (Roberts) who, after imploding in the worst way possible on a wildly popular American dating show, must do the ultimate walk of shame…back to her hometown,” reads the synopsis. “Having failed to win love on the show, she finds herself living in her quirky parents basement, without any friends, constantly bumping into the miserable ex the whole town adores, while experiencing the constant mockery of all who witnessed her public meltdown. She embarks on a hilarious and heartfelt journey to discover self-love and, with that, real connections with others.”
