Stephenie Meyer Joins Jerusha Hess for New Keri Russell Romcom

Stephenie Meyer, the dastardly empress of Twilight, is joining forces as a producer with Jerusha Hess (co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite) for Austenland, a romcom about a woman who "spends her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Jane Austen-crazed women." Keri Russell plays the woman, and she's flanked by J.J. Field, Bret McKenzie, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jane Seymour. Factoid: Meyer and Hess are both Mormon. Eek! I was traumatized in high school by our district's sole Mormon, who used to brag constantly that he never masturbated. Spoiler: He went bald at 19 and seems twitchy. Hold me, Dustin Lance Black! [THR]
