The adaptation of Brad Kessler's Birds in Fall isn't the only coastal tragedy film on the way. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Molly Sims (Las Vegas) and Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights) have signed on for the indie drama Hickory Nation, which takes the grief down to a coastal town in Maine.

Written and directed by Rebecca Cook, the film centers on the community of a small Maine town in "the aftermath of a mysterious hit-and-run accident. The event brings together a teacher and her two students, each struggling with secrets and lies." Sims will play a teacher who has lost her daughter (presumably in this accident), and Teegarden plays one of Sims' students, a local beauty queen. Production is set to begin "next summer," but I'm assuming THR means this summer, because that's a long way off for an indie with its stars already cast.

Okay. What in the hell is with the huge obsession lately with accidents and people coming together after them? We're sick of war movies, but we don't mind 50 million stories where people die and others grieve? This theme is almost as prevalent as prostitutes on film these days.

If you're a fan of tall, super-thin, leggy blondes who like to show off their goods, you're going to want to see two upcoming comedies -- Yes Man and Pink Panther 2. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Molly Sims, the tow-headed tease of television's Las Vegas, has nabbed roles in both comedies. In Yes Man, that comedy where Jim Carrey says yes to everything that comes his way, she'll play "the ex-wife he can't get out of his head." In the second Panther remake, which still scares me, she'll play "a news anchor who chronicles the misadventures of [Steve] Martin's bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau."

If you don't watch Vegas, and aren't very familiar with Sims, you can get a taste of her over at YouTube. Just type in "Molly Sims," and the first three links you'll get are her changing out of her bikini on Vegas, flashing her legs on the show, and then sporting fishnets on Craig Kilborn's show. But believe it or not, she used to be in Vanderbilt University working towards a law degree. That is, until she got signed with a modeling agency and quit school. Since she's got the looks and the brains, here's to hoping these roles let her show more of the latter. In the meantime, if you want more Sims, you can see her in her previous comedy roles -- Mrs. Feldman in Starsky & Hutch, Liz in The Benchwarmers, and Angie in Venus & Vegas.
