Next up:
- Starring as Janis Joplin in 'Gospel According to Janis'& Liza Minnelli in 'Simply Halston' with Brendan Fraser - two bio pics
- A teacher in the movie 'Bridge to Terabithia' which was one of my favorite books as a kid
- a comedy starring Luke Wilson who plays a man who after being attacked to realize that he's missing his family jewels. To make matters worse, he learns he's facing a paternity lawsuit filed by a woman he can't remember having sex with.

Trivia:
- Zooey is the sister of Emily Deschanel who stars on TV show BONES

I think she is a totally cute actress ... loved her in Elf, although I think she could get irritating very quickly.

Her character in "Failure to launch" got a little irritating too (I thought anyways) but I thought she looked familiar.
