Moon passed this along to me. What's Julianne Moore's next movie going to be about? Why in-bred West Virginians of course.
A movie about to be filmed in Pittsburgh is casting Gothic characters - including an albino-like girl and deformed people - to depict West Virginia mountain people. "'Regular-looking" children need not apply.
And is it just me or is the response of the director of the West Virginia Film Office entirely too sanguine? It seems to me that someone in her position might stand up for West Virginians a bit more.

To the best of my knowledge, most of the state isn't the product of incest.
