I’ve never heard of Jessica Ditto or Lawn Gnomes from Outer Space, so it’s hard to tell if this is another film in the gnomexploitation genre or not. I couldn’t find any other details and the Gnome Acticing Guild (GAG) hasn’t been contacted for any talent as of yet. It’s disappointing when gnome roles go to humans and CGI has made a large dent in the use of actual gnome actors on film sets.
I did hear that James McAvoy is the confirmed lead in Gnomeo and Juliet, and that Guillermo Del Toro, who directed Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy is taking on The Hobbit. I just love a wee film.
