West Wing's Whitford has film deal

'The West Wing' star Bradley Whitford is joining the cast of a new film called 'An American Crime'.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the film is a true crime drama, directed by 'Ella Enchanted' helmer Tommy O'Haver.

The film tells the story of a 16-year-old girl who died while under the care of a woman in the 1960s; Whitford will play the prosecuting attorney.

Whitford also stars in the new Matthew Perry series 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip', which will air on US TV in the autumn.

If you're after a feelgood boost for February, then this is the ticket to buy.

It won't stick in the memory like, say, a 'Monsters, Inc' or 'Lilo and Stitch', but 'Astro Boy' is a fairly quick 90 minutes.

Some brilliant moments but sadly, for a film about losing one's virginity, it doesn't go all the way.
