Alicia Silverstone Set For 'Vamps' Film

Alicia Silverstone will be reuniting with Clueless director Amy Heckerling for her upcoming romantic-comedy, Vamps, according to MTV.com. Production is set to begin in April.

The project was first announced last November and focuses on two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality. Silverstone will play one of the vampires opposite Krysten Ritter, best known for work on The Gilmore Girls.

Silverstone made her Broadway debut as  Elaine in The Graduate in 2002.  Other theater credits include the LA revival of Speed the Plow and the current broadway production of Time Stands Still.  Silverstone is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Cher Horowitz in the 1995 film Clueless, and has been nominated for a Golden Globe award for her work on the television show, Miss Match. Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway production of Donald Margulies' TIME STANDS STILL directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (The Homecoming, Proof, Rabbit Hole) opened on January 28 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Silverstone is currently starring in The Manhattan Theatre Club's production of Time Stands Still, featuring acclaimed actor and playwright Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio, "Law & Order: CI"), Tony Award nominee Brian d'Arcy James (Shrek, Off-Broadway's Next to Normal), and Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Laura Linney ("John Adams," Sight Unseen on Broadway).

In Time Stands Still, Sarah and James, a photographer and a journalist (Laura Linney and Brian d'Arcy James), have been together for nine years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. But when injuries force them to return home to New York and their circle of friends (Eric Bogosian and Alicia Silverstone), the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life. This timely and intelligent play marks the fourth collaboration for Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Marguliesand Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan.
