And when I say – it comes from, I mean that Burnett will direct the whole thing, and the movie will be based on his own novel of the same name that was published by Vintage Books in 2009.

The movie will center on an emotionally-troubled and imaginative high school graduate who decides to take a year off before college and start a blog as her life begins to spiral out of control. As you already guess, Robertson is on board to play that girl, named Katie Kampenfelt, and just in case you want to hear even more details about this project, here’s an official synopsis for Bunett’s novel:

Beautiful, wild, funny, and lost, Katie Kampenfelt is taking a year off before college to find her passion. Ambitious in her own way, Katie intends to do more than just smoke weed with her boyfriend, Rory, and work at the bookstore. She plans to seduce Dan, a thirty-two-year-old film professor.

The 22-year-old actress just signed on to star in the American DreamWorks Pictures remake of the 2011 French-Canadian film Starbuck.

In the film, Britt will work alongside Vince Vaughn, who will play her dad.

Starbuck is about a troubled teen named Kristen (Britt Robertson) who is one of 533 children that Vaughn’s character fathered through sperm donation.

Britt Robertson recently wrapped her recurring role as Cassie Blake on the now-canceled CW drama, “The Secret Circle.” She recently scowled her way through the dysfunctional family drama, “The Family Tree,” and screamed with the best of them as Marnie Cooper in Wes Craven’s “Scream 4.”

Robertson also recently earned a lot of buzz for her turn in the high school romance, “The First Time,” which made a splash at Sundance earlier this year. The film, which was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics, is still without a U.S. release date.

“White Rabbit” will commence with production in New Orleans later this month under the direction of Tim McCann.

Britt Robertson may be best known for playing the good witch / bad witch Cassie Blake on the sorcery soap opera The Secret Circle. (She also got her guts memorably stabbed out in the horror classic Scream 4.) But soon, the 22-year-old will be known as something else: official Tommy Girl.

THE FIRST TIME is a high school romance that follows two teenagers over the course of one weekend. Dave, a senior about to graduate, and Aubrey, a junior from a different school, meet one night at a party. What begins as a casual conversation soon turns into something more intimate, more romantic, and more complicated than either of them is ready for.

The film stars up-and-comers Dylan O’Brien (“Teen Wolf”), Britt Robertson (“The Secret Circle”), Victoria Justice (Paramount’s upcoming Fun Size), Craig Roberts (Submarine), James Frenchville (Animal Kingdom), LaMarcus Tucker (“Glee”), and Maggie Elizabeth Jones (We Bought a Zoo). Christine Taylor (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) also stars.

THE FIRST TIME is written and directed by Jonathan Kasdan (In the Land of Women) and executive produced by Carol Fuchs and Liah Kim.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing THE FIRST TIME to Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and to begin working with them on a fresh, funny, and inventive approach to reaching our audience. Their enthusiasm for the movie, and for its young stars, makes them the ideal partner,” said Kasdan.
