In the movie What Goes Up, Hilary Duff plays a “narcissistic seductress” named Lucy who attempts to win over the much older Campbell Babbitt (Steve Coogan) when he returns to his hometown to cover the news of the first civilian in space. The blog entry describes Lucy as someone who “eventually reveals much more depth than the way people perceive her.”

The video above contains two scenes from What Goes Up with Steve Coogan, and an interview with Hilary talking about living life with people perceiving you differently than how you are. This is something Hilary feels she shares with Lucy. Hilary talks about other things, including how great it was to work on this particular movie with such a talented cast.

The Insider blog has also revealed more details about the World Premiere today of What Goes Up at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival. They also list which theaters will be premiering the movie on May 29th.

Hilary Duff stars in Safety Glass as Lucy, one of several disaffected students whose hero, their teacher, killed himself under a cloud of scandal. The film is seen through the eyes of a reporter covering the Challenger space shuttle launch in 1986.

The second film trailer, which only recently came out, shows us a little more about the reporter, played by Steve Coogan, and his interactions with the small town. Particularly as he faces the sexuality of the teens at school, including Duff’s character, Lucy. I think it’s a great trailer for the film.

Hilary Duff stars as Greta, a 17-year-old girl struggling with feelings of suicide. Pushed aside by her mother Karen, Greta goes off to her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn, Michael Murphy) in Ocean Grove for the summer… against her will. She makes it known that she wants to kill herself during the summer, and compiles a book of suicide methods. It’s not until Greta falls for the short-order cook (Evan Ross) at the diner where she works, and realizes that people care for her fate, that things change.

As shown in the movie, you can tell that Greta is troubled, fearing her future and her own feelings. She tries to strike out at the people that care for her, thinking suicide is the only thing she has control over. It’s a really provocative film – I’m quite excited to see it!!

There will be a special advanced screening for Greta on April 2nd, 2009 at the Landmark Theaters in Westwood, California. See here for more information. If you do end up going, please email me a review of what you thought!!

Hilary Duff stars in Safety Glass as Lucy, one of several disaffected students whose hero, their teacher, killed himself under a cloud of scandal. The film is seen through the eyes of a reporter covering the Challenger space shuttle launch in 1986.

The trailer describes the movie as a “comedy about life, death, and all the touching moments in between.”

The preview was put together by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, which could mean the movie is going straight to DVD instead of to the theaters. It’s currently unclear. The Sony site does not yet have a release date associated with the film.

What do you think of the movie??
