CROONING COSTARS
The actors Imogen Poots and Penn Badgley met for the first time while filming Greetings from Tim Buckley, loosely based on the life of singer and guitarist Jeff Buckley and slated to come out later this year. Poots, a veteran of the indie-film circuit, plays the girlfriend of Badgley’s Jeff. It’s a welcome change for the 26-year-old Penn, whose contract with Gossip Girl ended earlier this year. The film marks a breakthrough not only career-wise, but personally too: “We both felt a huge change during the movie,” says Poots, 23, recalling the time they spent running around the streets of New York with their director, Dan Algrant. “We were sort of going through similar things, and we really grew to trust each other,” adds Badgley. The music-loving duo agrees that the biggest takeaway from the film so far has been each other. “It really highlighted the importance and beauty in your costar,” says Poots, who also has a role in Terrence Malick’s upcoming Knight of Cups. “I think of projects like boyfriends, in a bizarre kind of way.” Badgley concurs: “Well, it is a relationship.”
