From writer/director William Robert Carey, the indie dramedy Angels in Stardust tells the story of Vallie Sue (Aj Michalka), an imaginative small-town teenager who struggles to realize her potential in her Oklahoma community, built on an abandoned drive-in movie lot. With a neglectful mother (Alicia Silverstone), sensitive younger brother, mysterious Indian neighbor and an imaginary cowboy friend (Billy Burke), Vallie Sue hopes to overcome her environment while aspiring to become a writer. During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actress Alicia Silverstone talked about why she was drawn to the role of Tammy, how quickly the film came together, why she sympathized with such a despicable mother, why she loves getting inside the head of her characters, how much fun she had with the sexy wardrobe, and shooting the mother-daughter smackdown.

Vallie Sue (Aj Michalka), the wistful twentysomething hero of William Robert Carey's Angels in Stardust, is a dreamer.

She dreams of abandoning her trailer-park home and the irresponsible mother (Alicia Silverstone) whose carousing gets her down. She aspires to be a great writer, "like Agatha Christie," and decamp to the glamor of Oklahoma City. She confides in an imaginary friend, modeled on a TV cowboy, whom she pictures gracing a drive-in theater's long-abandoned big screen.

In fact, Vallie Sue has her roots in a different sort o...

Vallie Sue (Aj Michalka), a young teenager with big dreams, lives in a desolate, gritty little town, built on the site of an old drive-in movie theater. The townspeople and her own mother (Alicia Silverstone) barely pay attention to her, but she finds solace from a mystical cowboy and a former enemy. With their help, she finds the courage and strength to reach her potential without losing her heart. We have the exclusive poster for Angels in Stardust, which makes its DVD debut on March 25.

Angels in Stardust will be released March 25th, 2014 and stars Alicia Silverstone, Billy Burke, Amanda Michalka, Chandler Massey, Jeannetta Arnette, Michael Spears, Dennis Cockrum, Amelia Rose Blaire. The film is directed by William Robert Carey.

That's an odd title if I'd ever seen one "Jesus in Cowboy Boots," and probably why the film was retitled as Angels in Stardust. Newcomer William Robert Carey directs and writes the comedy drama which stars Alicia Silverstone, Billy Burke and Aj Michalka. The story takes place on the Texas/Oklahoma border and follows an imaginative teenage girl who lives in a mystical and dangerous community who is struggling to realize her full potential and escape the place she was born in. Also in the cast are Chandler Massey, Jeanetta Arnette, Michael Spears, Dennis Cockrum, Amelia Rose Blaire, Sierra Fisk and Adam Cagley.
