In the independent film “Try Seventeen,” which starts filming March 16 in Vancouver, Moore will play a more world-wise 21-year-old gal from the Midwest who knows a thing or two about partying and hanky-panky. The movie stars “Lord of the Rings” hero Elijah Wood as a 17-year-old who lies about his age to get into college… Read more »
