Up next for Shelton: You’ll hear her voice in the upcoming Paul Rudd/Emile Hirsh vehicle Prince Avalanche; and she has a part in Megan Griffiths’s Seattle-shot Lucky Them, now in production. But the latest news, according to deadline.com, is that Shelton will direct Anne Hathaway, Sam Rockwell, and Chloe Moretz (aka the saucy teen who went head to head with Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock) in the new dark comedy Laggies, which is so new iMDB just lists "????" as its release date. It's going to be a busy year.
