Mandy Moore checked in with fans on her official message board Thursday and updated her status on upcoming film projects and music. Moore said, “After HTD [her latest film 'How To Deal'], I am headed back to LA for a few weeks to hop into the studio (working on some demos for the next album), a couple of meetings, some downtime, and prepping for the next film, ‘Saved’. The script to ‘Saved’ is wonderfully witty and was so funny, I was rolling on the floor in hysterics. The cast is incredible too (Jena Malone, Macauley Culkin, Mary Louise Parker, Patrick Fuggit, Heather Matarazzo, etc.). I would have been silly to pass up the honor to work with those folks…. you’ll see.”
“I wish you guys could see how passionate I am about what I do — not just music, but film as well. I am as picky about film projects as I am with my music (although some of the ‘newer’ music is NOT releflective of my taste for the new album). I definitely don’t jump at the first script. If I had, then ‘Walk’ would never have been an option for me. The truth is, I am more than ready to venture into the studio, but there are still some issues to be resolved and timing is everything. Just wait, I promise to make it more than worth your while.”
