Today there came news that Hilary Duff will be starring in an "indie teen romance" titled Greta. The story revolves around "a young waitress who embarks on a romance with an ambitious chef (Evan Ross). Her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy) have their concerns about the boy's criminal past."
As Zap2It points out, Duff's previous credits include Material Girls, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Perfect Man and Raise Your Voice, not to mention, of course "Lizzie McGuire." This Greta project seems like a bit of a departure from her fluffy kid stuff and I wonder how she'll do with the material.
What do you think about Duff taking on meatier, indie roles?

so adorable
1loved her in cinderella story.
2I used to DESPISE her and nearly broke my TV every time she came on. That was when I was a child.
3I really just dont think shes a good actress. It seems like she does the exact same thing in every movie.
4You forgot to mention Cinderella Story, which I secretly love
5everything abouther.....too young. even her voice. i can't imagine her in a serious role and succeeding.
6Just saw Cinderella Story & yes, i'll say it - I liked it!!
7Shes absolutley awful! :|
8With the right script, she'll do well. However - she needs to realize that it will be very hard to break the disney stereotype she's in.
I like her.
9Ok...she's great i loved The Perfect Man...and Cinderella Story but i have to say that she always acts the same! i don't think she's that really great actress...just good. I'm still going to see the movie but i don't think she's a serious actress....that's my opinion...
10She's not the best actress but I liked her in Lizzie McGuire. Although I will say she is a better actress than singer.
11Just like Shia, she'll keep improving and getting better roles. Disney knows how to pick 'em lately. Right?
12I think she is a decent actress. She is only talented enough to play in those young girls and teen movies. Lindsay Lohan is much more talented at acting than Hilary.
13She's a cute girl. I'll have to wait and see.
14I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I like A Cinderella Story. *hides* She's really grown up in the musical aspect, so why not in the movie aspect? She has potential, I think.
15she has undeniable talent, she was really young when she did lizzie and all those other teen projects. i'm ready to see her in a more mature role.
16She may not be as good an actress as linds, but I like her a whole lot more than that self-absorbed, ego-tastic, bleached out, coke head, attention wh*re, std having slut lohan
17Sometimes... people need to stick to what they are doing... Sometimes they just need to quit doing it. I can't take a single thing that she does seriously. Not the music, not the acting... nothing.
18i'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
19She can be great with the right project.
20i love her!
21and lindsay so got on my nerves in georgia rule and the latest one she did.
I think this'll be a great transition for her. Her young fans when she was younger/at the same age as her are growing up, like she is, so its only natural to want to venture onto other projects that enter adulthood.
22She's always played the same roles: goody-goody nice girl.
23I think if she's given a chance and the right script, she could be a wonderful actress.
24I think she is garbage, and I don't understand why anyone would cast her when there are so many really talented actors out there.
25She is just handed opportunities b/c of her insane fan base.
I have no idea how she would go with something more dramatic.
26I'm with maddie888.
27i only saw her in The Perfect Man and she was ok so i think with the right script she could be all right
28EVERYONE
check out her newest album if you're looking for a newer more mature sound. The song Stranger is really good, and a lot more mature [about her ex, new baby daddy Joel Madden]. So is Danger [i know.. it rhymes], and a couple other ones.
She doesn't really carry the Lizzie McGuire thing about her as much anymore. The brown hair helps take away that image too. makes her look more grown up. If given more opportunities to play more mature and complex rolls I think she could handle it really well.
29i agree with flickster it is true her album is amazing and she is much more mature in it than before so i think she's gonna be more mature in her new movie .
30i think she sucks as an actress... they hated her in lizzie mcguirre. they had to send her to acting lessons cuz she was soooo extremely baddddd. lol. and her shoulders are always up... ugh. lol. i love how she seings but her posture and her acting, NO NO NO NO
31she can do better,
32if shes serious with
a little coaching shell
do great!!! like her..
not love.
I like her but for some reason in my eyes she's still Lizzy McGuire
33she exaggerates all of her expressions
34but i loved A Cinderella Story SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
She Stinks, stinks like horse manure which is interesting cause she looks like a horse.......
35hey hey guys dont be hyper sheill be alright in a few days
