Mira Sorvino has landed the lead in the upcoming true crime tale, The Class Project , to be directed by Stanley M. Brooks. The film features Abigail Breslin and Georgie Henley ( The Chronicles of Narnia ) as Canadian sisters who have been at the mercy of their alcoholic mother (Sorvino) and her abusive boyfriends for as far back as they can remember.

Since her Oscar-nominated turn in Little Miss Sunshine, the talented Abigail Breslin has been working, for the most part, with lighter fare — No Reservations; Definitely, Maybe; Rango; and even Zombieland, which has a consistently comedic air to it. Her upcoming commitments, however, point toward a change in the atmosphere.
She’s already signed on to Hilary Brougher‘s Innocence, a drama-thriller that involves vampires nesting in a private school. It’s her latest project, though, that is the real eye-opener. It’s titled The Class Project, and Breslin will star as one of “two Canadian sisters who, tired of their mother’s alcoholism and abusive boyfriends, plot to kill her.” [Variety]

Currently in that star child actress moving onto more adult roles phase of her career, Abigail Breslin is moving closer to the direction of acting peers such as the Fannings by taking on some tougher, less flattering indie drama roles. After signing up for Hilary Brougher's Innocence, the actress will now topline The Class Project, playing one of two teen sisters turned murders. To be directed by Stan Brooks (we've got no clue who this director is), lensing begins this month. Producers include Michael Rotenberg, Damian Ganczewski and Juliette Hagopian. Gist: Scripted by Fabrizio Filippo and Adam Till, this is based on Bob Mitchell's "The Class Project How to Kill a Mother: The True Story of Canada's Infamous Bathtub Girls," which follows two sisters who, tired of their mother's alcoholism and her abusive boyfriends, take matters into their own hands and plot to kill her.

Perhaps the biggest surprise with this morning's announcement of the 2010 Producers Guild Nominees is the inclusion of not just Avatar, but the fact both District 9 and Star Trek made their list of ten films vying for the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award.
Along with those three we also have the rest of the Oscar front-runner elite. I have included the complete list below. I'm not sure I would say the winner at the PGA Awards makes for a guaranteed Best Picture winner at the Oscars. Althought the last two Best Picture winners (Slumdog Millionaire and No Country for Old Men) also won the PGA, it's a mixed bag after that with 13 of the 20 Producers Guild winners going on to win the Oscar since 1990.
The complete list of nominees is below and the PGA will announce the winner January 24 in a ceremony at the Hollywood Palladium based on voting by its 4,200 members.

I'm proud to say that besides "A Serious Man," their choices of their 10 film nominees are similar to my Top 10 Best Films of 2009. :happy
The PGA opted to expand their nominees to 10 in response to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences 10 Best Picture nominees.
Oscar watchers take note -- the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award -- has matched the Oscar Best Picture in 13 of its 20 years. So the film that will win the PGA has a strong chance of winning the Oscars.
