Hi Jeremy,

Yes, there hasn't been any news about Smitten! for a while.  I googled it and googled Barry Morrow (the director) and didn't find any more updated news.  I hope we hear some news about it early 2017.

March 03 2017





Darren's character (Tyler?) is supposed to be a shallow fashion exec, possibly a jerk-type.  I can see Darren, during breaks,  apologizing profusely to this young actor, for being so mean to her when he's in character. :amused

Smitten!  is being released in 2018?? 
The 37th annual Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) will be showing Smitten!
Film Society wrote:
SPECIAL GUEST BARRY MORROW, JULIA RASK ATTENDING

A New York fashion executive named Tyler Hutton takes a trip to Milan, expecting a smooth journey. As luck would have it, his trek goes sideways and he is abducted, taken to a mysterious Alpine village and held for ransom. But the cottage where they sleep happens to be under a spell that makes those who reside there fall in love with the first person they see. As you can imagine, the magical hijinks lead to the development of not just one, but four romances.

A hilarious and enchanting spectacle, Smitten! stars actor Darren Criss in the role of Hutton, and features winning performances from Madalina Ghenea and Angela Molina. The film serves as the directorial debut from celebrated writer Barry Morrow, who wrote the story and screenplay for the 1988 Academy Awards Best Picture, Rain Man.
