News: Fred Durst is Josh Shwartz

To say Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst's true indie debut "Me, Fred Durst banging this faceless Abercrombie model from the back" was a runaway success would be an understatement. So I approach new film The Education of Charlie Banks, starring Jessie Eisenberg from The Squid & The Whale with no trepidation at all, especially considering it was finished in 2007 and only getting a release now. That and after The Longshots featuring Ice Cube did so well...
Charlie Banks looks like it might be the Talented Mr Ripley on the set of Gossip Girl when they all went to the Hamptons for the summer. But if I'm wrong that's cos the trailer and website doesn't tell you much other than emotional teens in New York - one of which looks like 80s Matt Dillon. The film is out in the US March 27.
