'Juno' and Maeby writing HBO show 'Stitch N'Bitch'




Alright, well I promised the boss lady that I would branch out with my news story so here is an attempt.  Ellen Page (Juno), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development) and Sean Tillmann (Whip It) are planning on writing and executive producing a series for HBO.  The show fittingly titled for these indie three is Stitch N’Bitch.

There is not much known about the project but sources say that it will explore the lives of some of the most demented and disturbing people known to man.

HIPSTERS

The Hollywood Reporter said that the show will feature a single camera shoot and document the lives of two hipster girls.  The two relocate from Brooklyn to Los Angeles planning to become artists.
As of right now Page and Shawkat are not currently signed on to star in the series.  However, if they were to both sign on I would be more interested in the show.  I think the two are some of the strongest young female talent out there today and really could do something with this only slightly intriguing plot.

This show is intriguing for the same reason Bored to Death is.  It features relative unknowns to the mainstream similar to Jason Schwartzmann’s (Funny People) new show, Bored to Death, also starring Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) and Ted Danson (Becker).  I wish I had HBO…

This could be a great opportunity for the two budding actresses and actor to step forward as creative talents and prove they’ve got more than just indie acting under their hoodie sleeves.  Good luck Maeby, Juno and the other guy.
