This is Olivia Thirlby:

She was in Juno. She was in The Wackness. She was in Snow Angels. She was in Breaking Upwards, which we’ll have a review of this week. In terms of pure gorgeosity, she is insane. She could use a cracker or two, but otherwise, she’s aesthetic perfection.

Sadly, Hollywood hasn’t come all the way around to this conclusion yet. They will, mind you. But they’re taking their sweet-ass time. A big step in that direction comes from THR’s Risky Biz blog, which reports that Thirlby has landed a leading role in Darkest Hour, a Chris Gorac directed sci-fi movie produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted).

The story follows follows a group of Americans traveling in the Moscow when an alien invasion occurs. Gorac and Josh Zetumer are currently revising the script. Filming is expected to begin this summer. Thirlby will play a trust fund girl trying to survive the attack who teams up with others to try to defeat the invaders.

She will kill them with her beauty.

Dustin! Dustin! Hey! Dustin! When do we get to find out who won the NCAA pool?

I, for one, could certainly use $50 right about now.

I'd love to visit the Moscow someday. ;p

Also, it's kinda hard to tell from that synopsis whether this movie would be good, or ass...but it COULD be good.

She can kill me

*sigh*

For a while, I hated this chick for no reason other than her "honest to blog" line in Juno, because let's face it, that's a fucking terrible line. But it's really Diablo Cody's fault, so I'll give Ms. Thirlby a pass on it. She is indeed quite pretty, and seems a pretty cool actress.

In 10 years, she'll be the next Angelina Jolie.

No, sorry but in ten years Angelina Jolie will still be the next Angelina Jolie, except with a much larger vagina.

Yeah, just when I thought I was going to be able to tolerate Juno, this chick's character started talking.

Agreed. Thirlby is teh hotness.

She's definitely a cutie but she's not interesting in movies. I would never compare her to Angelina Jolie because though both are objectively good looking, Jolie draws your attention in a film. She's a scene stealer and not even with her acting, there's just something about her. I didn't even remember Thirlby in The Wackness or Snow Angels and I've seen both in the last year.

Juno-haters aside, she's gorgeous, and really, REALLY good in Snow Angels and The Wackness. She actually really impresses me. After Juno I was obsessed with Ellen Page. Now I realize, I should have been paying more attention to Thirlby all along.

I stand corrected: when she can drive a boat with her girlie-parts, she'll be the next Angelina Jolie. Until then, she'll be cat-fighting for also-ran with Megan Fox.

She's pretty, sure, but I thought she was the only member of the Juno cast that did NOT knock it out of the park. Granted, her part was less substantial, but still, she didn't seem very impressive.

yum...

She was also in 2006 tv show "Kidnapped" which was awesome (and canceled early. le sigh).

And she's also on HBO's Bored To Death alongside Zach Galifianakis and jason Schwartzman. And she sure is pretty.

She was amazing (just outstanding) in both The Wackness and Snow Angels, and that's all there is to it. You can't base your opinion just off her part in Juno, that's silly.

She also has an awesome turn in "Solitary Man" with Michael Douglas and Jesse Eisenberg coming out May 21st.

It's her and Amanda Seyfried ... all the way at the top. Maybe a little Emmy Rossum in there too.
