Exclusive: Malcolm McDowell is saddling up with James Paxton, Bernadette Peters and Laura Marano for Adam Rifkin’s Western Last Train to Fortune.

We're going to let you finish, Dakota and Elle Fanning, but Vanessa and Laura Marano may just have you beat as the cutest celeb sisters of all time. Vanessa Marano and younger sister Laura Marano are true sister goals, especially considering the two of them just coproduced (and starred in) their first movie together. Along with their mother Ellen, the sisters helped adapt Alyson Noël's 2007 novel, Saving Zoë, which tells the story of Echo (played by Laura), who enters high school still trying to understand her older sister Zoë's (played by Vanessa) murder, only to find out her sibling was a victim of sexual exploitation. The movie is scary good, and it's partially due to the incredible chemistry (both on screen and off) between the sisters. Just look at these 120 photos to see how cute these lookalike siblings are together.

While Netflix's The Perfect Date starring Laura Marano and Noah Centineo doesn't have your typical love story, it does have perfect timing. At least it does for Marano, who got the role of the wise-cracking Celia Lieberman right after she wrote her latest single, "Lie to Me," which happens to connect with the film's theme pretty damn well.
"I didn't write [the song] originally for The Perfect Date, but it ended up working perfectly for it," Marano told Popsugar over the phone. "I wrote it during some writing sessions in Sweden, and it was basically about a relationship that I wanted so badly to be something real and beautiful - and it felt real and beautiful - but I had a bit of a wall up, so I wasn't sure if it was completely genuine from the other person. At one point I was just like, 'I don't care, I'm having...
