According to CinemaBlend, “The Hangover, Part II” star Jamie Chung has managed to land another film role; this time, however, Chung will be doing all of the heavy lifting. She’s been cast as the lead in the indie drama “Eden,” directed by Megan Griffiths. The film will center around a girl who’s been kidnapped by human traffickers and forced into prostitution for two years. The film is based on real events and written by Griffiths and Richard B. Phillips. Scroot McNairy, who has worked with Griffiths before in “The Off Hours,” will also be in this film.
Chung, who initially started in MTV’s “The Real World,” will have a lot to prove in this film; most of her roles haven’t required soul-searching depth to play, and fans of the anime “Dragonball Z” are probably still stung from her portrayal of Chi-Chi in “Dragonball: Evolution”. But just because the direction she was given resulted in the portrayals she gave doesn’t mean she can’t act. There’s always hope that an actor or actress will turn out a role that will make them a legend.
But what do you think about this? Will you see this film? And how do you feel about Chung’s acting roles? Sound off below.
