Tobey Maguire is one of the producers of the indie adaptation of the Robert C. O’Brien sci-fi classic.

Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried, and Chiwetel Ejiofor are starring in Z For Zachariah, a post-apocalyptic feature that will be directed by Craig Zobel.

Tobey Maguire is producing via his Material Pictures banner along with the company’s senior vp Matthew Plouffe. Zik Zak Filmworks’ Skuli Malmquist, Thor Sigurjonsson and Palomar Pictures’ Joni Sighvatsson are also producing.

Zachariah is a psychological thriller, set after an apocalyptic event. It centers on a teenaged girl (Seyfried) who is seemingly the sole survivor until a scientist (Ejiofor) finds her farm, and the two fall in love. Another survivor, a young man (Pine), surfaces, complicating matters.

An August shoot is being planned.

Nissar Modi wrote the script, an adaptation of Robert C. O’Brien’s classic science fiction novel.

Gary Ross and Lucky Hat Entertainment’s Stephen Bannatyne are executive producing, along with Silver Reel’s Claudia Bluemhuber and Lotus Entertainment’s Jim Seibel and Bill Johnson.

Lotus is selling international territories at Cannes. CAA arranged financing for the project, and CAA and WME will co-represent domestic rights.

When we heard the rumors around a “Mean Girls” musical, we immediately started casting the parts.

But one thing we didn’t account for was the idea that Amanda Seyfried might not want to reprise her role as Karen.

After all, what about Karen would make Seyfried not want to play her? She’s pretty. She doesn’t have to think, like, ever. She gets to wear pink on Wednesdays. She has ESPN, and her boobs can predict the weather. Or rather, her boobs can tell you about the current weather conditions.

So why would Seyfried want to walk away from the character who first put her on our radar? The temptation of the dark side, perhaps?

Seyfried tells Allure, “I desperately want to be Regina.” So our question for you is: Would this work? Could Seyfried’s big doe eyes contain the ferocity necessary to be queen bee? More importantly, could Seyfried convincingly play the girl who can’t be killed (even when hit by a bus)?

Although Seyfried’s career has definitely sky rocketed since her days as Karen, we’re not so sure we could handle a switch up within the plastics squad. What are your thoughts? Who would you cast as Regina George in a “Mean Girls” musical?

What feud?!

Les Misérables costars Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried were reportedly involved in a couture clash at the Oscars after the Best Supporting Actress winner ditched her Valentino dress and opted for a Prada confection after learning Seyfried planned to wear a similar Alexander McQueen gown.

Us Weekly reports Hathaway threw a “fit” during Oscar rehearsals after seeing a pic of the dress Seyfried decided to wear, causing Amanda to leave the Academy Awards prep as she didn’t want to deal with Anne’s alleged tantrum.

Sounds a bit extreme, right?

Well, it seems Seyfried certainly thought so as the blond beauty took to Twitter to (sort of) address the rumors, sharing her true thoughts about her costar Saturday.

“Fact: I love you, Anne!,” the Les Mis star posted on her social media page.

Although Anne never addressed the rumored feud, she did issue a statement after her Oscar style swap, apologizing to longtime friend and designer of her wedding gown Valentino Garavani for the change. She also confessed to Ryan Seacrest on the carpet that she didn’t know what she was wearing “until about three hours ago” and initially blamed her work schedule for the last-minute decision.

Well, regardless of what went down, it looks like these two beauties have buried the hatchet.

That is, if there ever was any beef.
