Cam Gigandet and Leighton Meester Mix It Up in 'The Roommate'

Screen Gems thriller readies for May start

Leighton Meester

Variety reports Cam Gigandet (Twilight) and Leighton Meester ("Gossip Girl") will co-star in the upcoming Screen Gems thriller The Roommate.

The screenplay was written by Sonny Mallhi and centers on a deranged college freshman who becomes obsessed with her new roommate. Gigandet will play the boyfriend of Meester's character.

I can only assume Meester will play the one being obsessed on, but that is merely a guess.

Danish helmer Christian E. Christiansen will direct with intentions to begin filming in May. Christiansen's short film Om natten (At Night) was nominated for an Oscar in 2008.

Meester was recently added to the cast of the Tina Fey and Steve Carrel comedy Date Night while Gigandet was last seen in The Unborn, ironically enough as the boyfriend of a tormented girlfriend.

and he does have LEAD roles already, in Kerosene Cowboys and Five Star Day. He's going to be great. plus more movie in the works. and his villain roles make the movie, in my opinion he made Twilight watchable. and Never Back Down he was a lead as in twilight and the unborn, where he played the boyfriend but i liked him in that role and to bad he died. also i gald he's not stuck in the twilight thing, once twilight is done, those actors will fade just like lord of the rings. yes the role is like his role in the unborn but hey, job is a job, and no matter what role of what type of movie he's in i will be watching it. September he will be in Pandorum, with Kerosene Cowboys and Five Star Day in which he is the lead. and he has many more movies in the works. I agree with sissy: Cam is very versatile actor, and he is SUPER HOOTTTT!!!!, I just hope to see much more of him, He is a pleasure to my eyes….. GO CAM!!!!!!
