EXCLUSIVE: Miles Teller, who starred in the Footloose remake (he played the role that Chris Penn originated) and then starred in Rabbit Hole and Project X, will star alongside Shailene Woodley in the James Ponsoldt-directed The Spectacular Now. Pic is based on the Tim Tharp novel, and Teller plays a charming and popular high school senior who lives for the moment and as a project begins to date a social outcast and realizes he has the power to permanently impact someone’s life. Tom McNulty, Billy Rosenberg and Dan Cohen are producing, and production begins this summer in Athens, Ga. Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber wrote the script.
I’ve heard that Teller is also being eyed by Sony Pictures for the primary role in The Kitchen Sink, a genre script that has a lot of heat on it at the studio. Not bad for a kid who came out of NYU and went right into Rabbit Hole opposite Nicole Kidman. Teller’s repped by CAA and Bold Management.

Freddie Prinze jr already starred in this movie.
Good for him. He was the best thing about the Footloose remake.
The book is amazing, mostly for the great voice of the main character. I hope the movie does the novel justice.
He was so great in Rabbit Hole, one the best underrated movies of 2010.
He gave a fantastic performance in Rabbit Hole–I would say even worthy of an Oscar nomination. I see a great future for this young man.
Looks like poor Shailene Woodley is using her hiatus from the mess that is Secret Life of the American Teenager for this movie.
Good call for her? After coming off a Golden Globe nomination she is doing a teenage self-discovery movie? I know I wouldn’t have, but her time is probably limited due to that miserable excuse of a TV show she is stuck on.
What exactly is wrong with doing a teenage-centric film? What should she have gone done instead? Do a Martin Scorsese-helmed Holocaust picture? How pretentious of you.
And that ‘miserable TV show’ made her
Excellent script. Congrats to McNulty for making it happen — he’s one of the good ones.
LOVE Miles. Bravo to him, and bravo to his management!
Read this script and it’s amazing. The folks at 21 Laps will do great things with it. Only wish Lee Toland Kreiger was still at the helm.
Lee Krieger walked off the film for his own reasons. He could have been directing.
Good job getting James Ponsoldt – he’s gonna kill it!
Great job to Miles Teller! sat next to me in drama class in high school and yes he has amazing talent
Love you Miles. Looking forward to this next movie.
Miles is the greatest up and comming actor thats my boy too good luck bro
I AGREE WITH YOU MIKE, MILES WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE, YES THAT’S YOUR BOY.
That Miles Teller is so handsome and has an absurd amount of talent! He blows so many current actors out of the water. I hope he continues to show his diversity in films like Rabbit Hole in which he outshines Nicole Kidman. Cheers to young talent and hard work!
