Having started off as a Disney Channel phenomenon, it’s fair to say that singer/actor Vanessa Hudgens has made quite a breakthrough in 2013, playing important roles in the likes of Spring Breakers and The Frozen Ground, with her latest Gimme Shelter film further proving her rise to maturity.
The Ron Krauss-directed film will guest star Brendan Fraser, Rosario Dawson and James Earl Jones alongside Hudgens herself, and is set to follow the story of a 16-year old girl struggling in life due to her mother taking upon prostitution, leading to addiction and an overall abusive personality. Looking to search for a better life, the girl leaves in search for her father, who she has never come in contact with before. After finding out that she is pregnant, she is forced to eventually move into a shelter and essentially transform her life around.
Look out for the movie to hit theaters on January 24th.
