It’s safe to say that there’s never enough Christina Ricci. Aside from a guest stint on The Good Wife, the spritely actress has been fairly absent since Pan Am got canned. Now, Ricci stars as an inspirational teacher type (think To Sir with Love, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Dangerous Minds) who works with tough kids in urban Sydney in Around the Block.
Amidst inspiring youth to recite Shakespeare, Ricci’s Dino also has a fling with a smoking hot woman she meets in a bar, played by out model and TV presenter Ruby Rose. The film, from out Aussie director Sarah Spillane, premieres at the Toronto Film Festival next month, according to AfterEllen.
Ricci very famously played gay opposite Charlize Theron in the 2003 Oscar bait biopic Monster (and rollerskating has never quite been the same).
Check out the trailer for Around the Block below.
