ABOUT WHITE FROG:

High-school freshman, Nick (Booboo Stewart), a young boy with Asperger’s syndrome is often neglected and misunderstood by his seemingly perfect family. When tragedy suddenly strikes, Nick is forced out of his comfort zone, and into finding the strength he needs to survive. WHITE FROG is a universal story about the power of family, friendship, and love. 

In other Talulah Riley movie news, her other upcoming film The Knot is said to be released this month on Valentines Day, February 14th.

The Knot synopsis

Soulmates Alexandra (Talulah Riley) and Jeremy (Matthew McNulty) are getting married. At least that’s the plan. Unfortunately for them, nonchalant best man Peter (Noel Clarke), bridesmaid Sarah (Mena Suvari) and an army of naysayers haven’t heard they’re meant to be together. Can missing bridesmaids, crashed cars, a trip to A&E, and a delivery of pigs testicles stand in the way of true love?

Also, synopsis for Talulah's another upcoming film, The Liability:

When 19-year-old Adam agrees to do a day’s driving for his mum’s dodgy boyfriend Peter, it takes him on a 24-hour journey into a nightmarish world of murder, sex trafficking and revenge, in the company of aging hit man Roy.

Speaking of Talulah, she hasn't tweeted on Twitter since December 29th when she replied to one of my tweets (@RileyTalulah: "@pandp2005 Thank you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours xx"). It was very nice of her to reply (I like and admire her even more!) and wished me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope she had a great one (both Christmas and New Year) too. She sure was very nice and friendly on twitter and has replied my tweets to her more than a few times. She's definitely one of the best and friendliest celebs to follow on Twitter. I've wondered what she's been up to and why she hasn't tweeted lately. Then, I've heard about the recent news about her sudden split from her husband Elon Musk and him announcing their split on twitter. That's cruel of him to announced their split on twitter (Poor Talulah! She deserves someone better! Hope she's ok...Though good for her for keeping quiet and not talking about her personal life on twitter)...it's a good thing she does not follow him (as she doesn't have to unfollow him, lol) and from the TMZ article below, it looks like he's bitter and got dumped as she was the one who filed for divorce before his announcement. Interesting turn of events...

Millionaire PayPal Founder Actress Wife Files for Divorce (via TMZ)

Millionaire PayPal founder Elon Musk's wife has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

The British "Pride and Prejudice" actress -- named Talulah Riley -- filed the papers on January 17th, citing "irreconcilable differences" ... one day before Musk publicly announced the couple's split on Twitter.

In a telephone interview with Forbes on the 18th, Musk -- worth a reported $680 million -- made it sound as though he was the driving force behind the divorce, claiming, "I still love her, but I’m not in love with her. And I can’t really give her what she wants.”

The Forbes headline reads, "Elon Musk to Divorce Wife" -- but clearly, Talulah beat him to the punch. So far, Elon has NOT filed divorce documents.

It's unclear who truly wished to end the relationship, or whether it was a mutual decision.

Talulah's tight corset makes film wedding a breathless affair

Actress Talulah Riley has admitted being floored by an extremely tight wedding dress during the filming of new romantic comedy The Knot.

Riley, who plays bride-to-be Alexandra, said she has to lie down for relief during breaks in shooting at St Dunstan's church in Stepney Green.

The 25-year-old St Trinian's star said: "When I'm not working, I throw myself down on the ground because I can't actually breathe in my corset. The dress is beautiful but I breathed in at the fitting which was a big mistake."

Riley appears opposite Matthew McNulty, 28, as her fiancé Jeremy, in the film written by a team including Noel Clarke - best known for his gritty dramas Adulthood and Kidulthood. The cast also includes American Pie actress Mena Suvari, 32, as chief bridesmaid. Riley's own wedding, to US entrepreneur Elon Musk in Scotland six months ago, was "hitch free". But she said filming her first on-screen marriage was surprisingly nerve-racking.


"It's quite strange really walking down the aisle, many times over. I was standing in a big white dress with people on both sides and a guy standing at the end and though I don't normally get nervous, it made me feel quite jittery as if I really was getting married." Read full article here...
