According to sources Nico will not star in “The Lowenfish Party” or “The Philosophers” as previously reported.

“The Lowenfish Party” was supposed to film in Canada this summer but, as it often happens with independent movies,  it was cancelled. “The Philosophers”, that starts shooting next week in Indonesia, unfortunately had scheduling problems with “Odd Thomas”, filming in New Mexico until mid-July.

“The Walk of Fame” has also probably been put on hiatus. Thomas Dekker’s new show “The Secret Circle” will start filming next month and it doesn’t look like he’ll have time to direct “Walk of Fame” in Los Angeles while filming the show in Canada.

As Movieline reported yesterday, Nico was recently casted in a new project titled “The Lowenfish Party” playing a “super dark, emo-hipster artist/creative type”.

The movie, written by Jason Ubaldi and directed by “Sex & The City”‘s Wendey Stanzler, is rumoured to also star Kevin McHale (“Glee”), Michael Trevino (“The Vampire Diaries”), Toby Hemingway (“The Covenant”), Bow Wow, Addison Timlin (“Californication”) and Nico’s real-life girlfriend Sara Paxton.

According to IMdB, here are two short summaries:

For the graduating Senior Class, The Lowenfish Party was supposed to be one final hurrah with their high school friends. But when the cops raid the out-of-control party, it’s a mad dash of teens rushing from the house. Now separated from their “real” friends, six teens from different cliques are forced to spend the night together and face their differences.

They’ve shared the cafeteria, the gym, and the school halls for 12 years — and never even wanted to know each other. But when the party of the year turns out to be a cop-raided bust, six high school seniors are forced to band together and face their differences.

The movie will probably start shooting (in Detroit) sometime next month when “Glee” and “The Vampire Diaries” wrap filming their current seasons.

*EDIT* According to IMdB Nico will be playing the role of “Jeremy” and Glee’s Kevin McHale has been removed from the cast list.

Nico was recently interviewed by Movieline’s Jen Yamato and revealed, among other things that he was recently cast in a new project titled “The Lowenfish Party”.

When Ghostface starts picking off teens and townsfolk again in April’s Scream 4, expect 22-year-old Chicago native Nico Tortorella to land somewhere near the top of your list of potential killers. Tortorella, who once compared his character Trevor to Skeet Ulrich in the original, played coy with his character’s true nature with Movieline but was refreshingly candid when it came to addressing widespread rumors of behind-the-scenes drama, as well as his close ties to director Joel Schumacher and the appeal of dueling YA properties Mortal Instruments and The Hunger Games.

But first things first: Despite his successes in the fashion world (he’s currently contracted with Ford New York) Tortorella is not a model-turned-actor. He’s been acting on stage since the age of 8, happened upon his professional modeling career by accident, and subsequently appeared on the short-lived CW series The Beautiful Life (playing, well, a male model). Despite having only a handful of credits under his belt, Tortorella’s shown comic range as a recurring guest star on ABC Family’s Make It or Break It and, following his turn in Wes Craven’s Scream 4, next reunites with director Schumacher on the home invasion thriller Trespass opposite Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman.

Needless to say, Tortorella’s committed to showing the world he’s more than just a pretty face. He tells Movieline he was recently cast as a “super dark, emo-hipster artist/creative type” in The Lowenfish Party, “a Breakfast Club – meets – Can’t Hardly Wait“-type film also rumored to star Glee’s Kevin McHale, The Vampire Diaries’ Michael Trevino, and Tortorella’s rumored real-life girlfriend, Sara Paxton.
