Bledel and Porter Board The Good Guy

July 28, 2008

Alexis Bledel (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, "Gilmore Girls") and "Friday Night Lights" star Scott Porter are joining Bryan Greenberg, Andrew McCarthy, Aaron Yoo and Anna Chlumsky in Julio DePietro's romantic comedy The Good Guy, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Porter plays Tommy, a rising Wall Street star in a budding romance with a new girlfriend, Beth (Bledel). He begins mentoring a seemingly hapless new salesman (Greenberg) who befriends Beth, starting a chain of events that might ultimately lead to his downfall.

McCarthy plays Tommy's vicious boss, Yoo plays his crass co-worker and Chlumsky plays Beth's unlucky-in-love friend.

Linda Moran and Rene Bastian of Belladonna Productions (Transamerica) are producing with DePietro's Whitest Pouring Films. Production is under way in New York.

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Former "Gilmore Girl" Alexis Bledel has found a good guy in "Friday Night Lights" star Scott Porter.

The pair star in the romantic comedy "The Good Guy," which is in production in New York.

Porter plays Tommy, a rising Wall Street star in a budding romance with a new girlfriend, Beth (Bledel). He begins mentoring a seemingly hapless new salesman (Bryan Greenberg) who befriends Beth, starting a chain of events that might ultimately lead to his downfall.

Andrew McCarthy plays Tommy's vicious boss, Aaron Yoo his crass co-worker, and Anna Chlumsky Beth's unlucky-in-love friend. The project marks the writing and directing debut of Julio DePietro, who based the story partly on his experience as a partner at a hedge fund.

Porter most recently appeared in "Speed Racer," while Bledel returns to theaters next month in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2."
