The film is a “multi-generational comedy about four recent college graduates who discover that their lofty expectations and the realities of adulthood are two very different things,” a press release reads (via Deadline).
Anna, 26, plays Jillian Stewart, Will’s (Miles Teller) type-A girlfriend, who lives her life according to the strictest of plans.
Nick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Brandon will play Will’s three friends, Charlie, Ethan and Luke, respectively, each of whom find careers with some interesting results.
The flick is set to begin production today in Los Angeles.
We shot these new pics a couple of weeks ago at the same school they filmed in — John Burrows Middle School in Los Angeles.
Every prom has to have a theme right? Or, most of them do. When we asked director Joe Nussbaum about Prom‘s prom theme, Starry Night, this is what he told us:
“It actually wasn’t Starry Night in the beginning. It was Enchanted Jungle. One of the things I wanted to have early one is have a muted, interesting color palette for the look and feel of it, so everything was earthy and real. There was nothing really overly bright, glitzy or shiny. I had pictured this jungle with bright toucans and just in your face colors. It wasn’t working.
“We needed something else that can be muted and still romantic. There were other themes thrown at us, like Midnight in Paris, which was too specific for us. We went through a lot of themes, but Starry Night really stuck with us because it can be done so many ways. You can do mylar balloons and cardboard cutouts or you can do really classy like with the Vincent Van Gogh painting. The rich blues and orange glow just really stuck with us.”
JJJ Fun Fact: John Burrows Middle School is the same school they filmed Pretty in Pink at!

Nicholas Braun finally finds his Prom date in Debby Ryan at the world premiere of the film held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday evening (April 21).
The duo were joined by Joe Adler, who stars as Rolo in the film.
JJJ recently chatted with Nick at the press junket and got to ask him about his favorite scene, which is also director Joe Nussbaum‘s favorite too. “That was a great scene [in the library]. Lloyd is asking yet another girl, Betsy, to prom and it’s just a really great scene. His asking comes out of the fact that he’s stretched himself. He’s not the same Lloyd you meet at the beginning of the movie. He’s speaking to this girl and gets to flirt a little with her, he’s just grown.”
But that doesn’t stop him from trying every angle in the book. Lloyd posted on Brookside’s Prom Bulletin Board a few more that he knows he won’t get to before the big day:
– Ask that girl that’s definitely out of your league. Because, hey, at this point there really is nothing more to lose.
– Borrow a puppy from a friend or neighbor and let it do the talking. Or maybe you do the talking in an adorable puppy voice.
– You know those movies where the girl tries on all those dresses and the guy sits there and is like “No way!” or “Whaaaaaat?” or “Hahahahahaha!” and then “Yeah, that’s the one! . . . find a girl that’s trying on dresses and be that guy . . . it will work! Unless store security gets involved.
We’re not sure if those would work…and they didn’t work for Ali Gomez (Janelle Ortiz): “#Prom Ask of the Day: Lloyd �” stop submitting, ‘Ali goes to Prom with Lloyd!’ to the Dirt Alert. It’s not happening.”
Class President Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden) told JJJ that if Lloyd asked her to the big dance…”I don’t know. It definitely depends on how he asks me. Maybe!”
Nicholas Braun snaps some pics with his costars Michael Angarano and Kerry Bishe during The Red State Nationwide Tour Finale held at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday night (April 9).
JJJ met up earlier in the day with the 22-year-old actor to chat about his other upcoming movie, Prom.
When we asked him about his advice for guys about asking the girl of their dreams to the big event, Nick shared, “First of all, do it. Just go for it. You’ve got to do it in a way that makes it look like it’s not a huge deal. Try and act normal, don’t or try not to let your voice quiver. Be cool. After she says yes, then you can freak out.”
Nicholas Braun keeps warm in a striped sweater as he steps out at The Red State tour launch at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday afternoon (March 5) in New York City.
