"We are thrilled to announce that 10 Things I Hate About Life is in the final stages of production. Evan Rachel Wood's chemistry with Thomas McDonnell is just phenomenal. Gil has a keen insight into the mind and motivation of people and has written something funny but tragic and yet charming and uplifting."
