Up-and-Coming Names to Know!

Awards season is coming and there are some new faces on the scene; and some faces you just didn’t notice before. Here are the up and coming names to know. Alicia Vikander The Swedish beauty first gained international fame for her performance in Denmark’s Oscar winning The Royal Affair.

On her first assignment she has to go back to high school to get the scoop on teenagers “nowadays”. One problem; she was a loser when she was actually a teenager, and now she really doesn’t fit in. David Arquette and Molly Shannon co-star in this […]
