Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen for 'Very Good Girls'

Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are reportedly close to signing up for upcoming teen film Very Good Girls.



The project will be the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Naomi Foner - the mother of Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin is also said to be joining the film.

Fanning and Olsen will play childhood friends in the summer following their high school graduation, who are aiming to lose their virginity before the next stage of their life, according to Deadline.

However, the pair later fall in love with the same boy (Yelchin), which causes complications and friction between the two girls.

The movie will begin shooting in New York from June, and will be produced by Michael London's Groundswell Productions alongside Lee Clay and Norton Herrick.

Speaking about the project, Foner explained: "The film deals with female sexuality and friendship in a way we haven't seen before.

"These girls will be stunning young women in a couple of years, but they've struggled through high school with only each other. Most of us have been there. This is the summer where they finally get to touch real life."

Dakota Fanning recently stated that she has never experienced an identity crisis or doubted herself during her career.

Elizabeth Olsen received a number of awards and nominations for her breakthrough role in last year's Martha Marcy May Marlene.
