Mischa Barton to play a stalker in upcoming thriller

Talk about unrealistic: Mischa Barton is set to play an obsessed "stalker" in a thriller called Homecoming. In it, she plays a woman who is still madly in love with her high school sweetheart, years after he's left town. When he returns....bad stuff happens? We can only guess at this point.

Cinematical (reporting from Variety) says the film is supposed to be about an "unhealthy obsession," which is about the most redundant statement anyone could possibly make. (I know you didn't say this, Erik, and it appears you feel the same way too!) I mean, it's stalking. By definition, that's an unhealthy obsession.

Something about a super-attractive, popular actress playing a stalker just doesn't fit right with me. Maybe I'm just generally creeped out by stalkers, so the idea itself bothers me. Whatever. I just don't like Mischa Barton at all.

Terrible movie of 2008? Time will only tell!

I've got a bad feeling about this. I can only associate Mischa with those commercials for episodes of The OC. And stalkers just never sit well with me. Creepy.

i don't have an opinion on how good the movie will be with just these details, but there certainly can be attractive stalkers and to think that there aren't is to be ignorant. while it's certainly less common and believable, that doesn't make it inconceivable.

I don't know, she was pretty creepy in The Sixth Sense. Maybe she'll be a vomiting stalker, and that will make it OK. Besides, there have been attractive male stalkers in movies, haven't there?

I do not know for sure that this movie is going to be crap, but if Mischa Barton is in it, most likely it will be since she is not that good of an actress. By the way, the definition of stalker is -
1 : to pursure quarry or prey stealthily
2 : to walk stiffly or haughtily

Whether they are attractive or not does not come into it, and I am sure there is just as many "unattractive" stalkers as there are "attractive" ones.

she's not that great of an actress, so im not expecting much of this movie...

Attractive stalkers, that might be nice!

The concept is really unoriginal but they might be able to make it interesting....

I don't think she's the right actress to play a stalker!
Have you seen her cute face? If I were that guy I wouldn't mind she stalking me xD
I like her way of representing.
Well....I only watched The O.C so maybe i can't really say she's a good actress XD
But anyways yes, only time will tell.
Maybe not the worst movie ever but, close enough =]

P.S- Is there a healthy stalking? XD just wondering :D

I actually just went to the filming of this last night becasue I live right by it. It looks really good. Thy're filming it in tihs really old abandoned house. I saw mischa and the other people in it. i also talked wiht the direct and stunt double. It should be relased in the fall.

why is nobody responding to me....WANT TO PLAY A GAME??????

the movie is filmed in a quiet village. where eeryday is like the one before. its a little town full of little people. Be my guuest to come visit it. In the movie mischa thinks that you arent safe until hes deade. He'll come STALKING you at night. There was just a little cahnge, small to say the least, the movie will be in pittsburgh for two weeks instead fo the farmhouse.
Bye Guys and Dolls!

Sincerely,
ERTH

omg when i went out to the movie scene it was so cool!
there was all this yelling going on and there was a horse missing and all of teh sudden my friend who we call rusty found him and was like "i got your horse right here!" they were talking about shooting somewhere else but the biltmore garage wants a grand and that is a little over what they have on hand. it was rainign outside and my friend john stood out there, chances are he's insane. they were about ready to pack up but my friend nate wasn't ready but finally he said "alright already, call a policeman and sue me!" and on that note we left, it was quite an experience though!
