Ugly Americans - Taken from the Hollywood Reporter - Casting
Scott Mechlowicz has joined Michelle Trachtenberg, Travis Wester and Jacob Pitts in the untitled Montecito Films comedy (aka UGLY AMERICANS) for director Jeff Schaffer. It's about four friends' misadventures as they travel Europe after graduating from high school. Production begins May 3. When Montecito picked up the project last year from writers Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel, the intention was that the three would make it their directorial debut. DGA rules, however, doesn't allow three directors on a film so the trio has decided that Schaffer will take sole credit, though they'll all collaborate on directing chores.
