Here is the third trailer for Mary-Kate Olsen’s new movie The Wackness. This trailer focuses on the relationship between Luke, played by Josh Peck, and Stephanie, played by Olivia Thrilby. Mary-Kate isn’t in the trailer at all.

Here is a short clip from The Wackness. It’s a short scene with Mary-Kate Olsen. She’s pretty good in it, I think!

Thanks to jj for the tip!

Here is a new trailer for The Wackness starring Mary-Kate Olsen, Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck.
Mary-Kate is only in the trailer briefly, but I think it’s nice they include her, especially considering how small people say her part is.

OK Magazine has a few short interviews with actors Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck and director Jonathan Levine from the movie The Wackness.

Levine had this to say about his cast:

I was so fortunate to have the cast. The casting directors are amazing. Ben Kingsley would be anybody’s first choice, and I can’t believe we got him.

He also chats about the kiss between Ben and Mary-Kate Olsen and more! Click here to read all the interviews.

“The Wackness” starring Ben Kingsley, Josh Peck, Olivia Thrilby and Mary-Kate Olsen received more than critical acclaim–it won the Audience Award in the dramatic film category at the Sundance Film Festival.

It was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics for distribution, meaning it will be in theaters near you! Hopefully sooner than later. Some think finding an audience for the film may prove to be difficult, but only time will tell.
Congratulations to the cast, crew and to writer/director Jonathan Levine!
