Faris puts on a 'Smiley Face'

Here's one to look forward to:

Brokeback Mountain's Anna Faris, next to be seen in Scary Movie 4 and the Luke Wilson/Uma Thurman superhero comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend, has signed on to play the lead role in Smiley Face. Directed by Gregg Araki, the comedy follows a young slacker actress who goes through her day with a series of misadventures after ingesting her roommate's pot-laced brownies. Wait - it gets better! The cast is rounded out by The Office's adorable John Krasinski, Harold & Kumar's John Cho and The 40 Year Old Virgin's Jane Lynch. All of these people are funny. Anna Faris is funny. This movie will be funny. If the concept sounds familiar, at one point the project was titled Mary Warner and was to be Winona Ryder's comeback vehicle. That never happened, and now we got some more of the funny Faris.
