Breaking The Girl Gets Its Bad Girls

We’re past the days of monstrous men in masks hacking up unsuspecting victims. Nowadays it’s all about seeing the girl next door unleash her violent side. Taking a cue from this weekend’s new release Jennifer’s Body, Breaking the Girl will focus on a college student killing off her enemies.

Myriad Pictures has reigned in A Haunting in Connecticut’s Amanda Crew and Friday Night LightsAdrianne Palicki to star in the thriller. According to Variety, the film is about a student who loses a scholarship at the hands of a fellow classmate, which leads her to make a pack with a friend to kill off each other’s enemies.

Director Jamie Babbit will begin production in the spring in Canada. The majority of Babbit’s credits include one-episode stints for shows like 90210, Castle and Eli Stone, so it’ll be interesting to see if she can handle a feature length film. The story and cast have potential so the odds are in her favor.
