How’s that for timing? All of an hour after site launch, it’s hit Reuters that Roxane has been cast in a new project, Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom.” This will be Roxane’s first American film, and she’s been busy perfecting her English the past few years in hopes of one day doing an English language film — this is excellent news for her, I’m sure!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – indie director Gregg Araki is detonating his next picture, “Kaboom,” which follows the sexual awakening of a group of college students.
