Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) is starring in a "low-budget indie feature" for writer-director Madeleine Olnek (The Foxy Merkins), Deadline.com reported, noting that the "comedy-period piece about famed poet Dickinson has been described as kind of an 'experimental' piece with Shannon taking the title role as an adult Emily and relative newcomer Dana Melanie playing Young Emily." Also in the cast are Susan Ziegler, Amy Seimetz (The Killing), Brett Gelman (Jobs) and Sasha Frolova. The title and plot are "being kept under wraps, but filming is all but wrapped" on the project that is currently seeking distribution, Deadline.com wrote.
