Cobie Smulders once only known as a HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER cast member, and sometimes as Robin Sparkles is continuing her film career. She’s gone from S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in this years AVENGERS to playing the pregnant girlfriend of Vince Vaughn in new comedy STARBUCK, originally a french film that’s now being adapted for a wider audience. Ken Scott wrote the original and will be writing and directing the English language version as well. Surely, this leaves very little room for interpretation and further questions to the point of such a remake, wouldn’t it be easier for the studio to slap subtitles on the original STARBUCK and save themselves some cash?
STARBUCK is about a man played by Vince Vaughn who finds out that he has 533 children through sperm donation. When it turns out that some of the kids are desperate to meet their biological father, he is faced with the decision to come forward or to remain anonymous and get on with his life. Smoulders plays his pregnant girlfriend who has heard of the donating legend but still doesn’t know that her first child will be her boyfriends 534th. Chris Pratt who can be seen everywhere recently has also joined the STARBUCK cast. Another strange Hollywood re-make or standard Vaughn territory? You decide!
