Oh Boy

Halloween may be over, but I'm still scared. Very. By this. The idea of Mischa Barton starring in all her ribaldric glory in an adaptation of Boccaccio's The Decameron, a.k.a. the Middle Ages' contribution to the porn industry: a frame narrative about a group of young hipsters from Florence who flee to the countryside to escape the Bubonic plague and end up amusing themselves at their villa by telling bawdy tales. The film, due out in March, has gone through a few different titles, including "Virgin Territory" and "Chasing Temptation" -- presumably their attempt to entice non-English majors who'd be otherwise oblivious to the fact that there's general naughtiness to be enjoyed. FYI, the film also stars Hayden Christensen...you can download the trailer at desiringhayden.net.
