Lea Thompson Talks About New Film 'Splinterheads'

Actress Lea Thompson stopped by the studio to talk about her role as Susan Frost in the new movie Splinterheads.
"Justin Frost (Thomas Middleditch) is a 20-something slacker whose "thing" is that he has no "thing" at all. When a small-time carnival rolls into town, he meets Galaxy (Rachael Taylor), a gorgeous con artist, or "splinterhead," who has more “things” going for her than anyone he has ever met. While dealing with a romance between his mom (Thompson) and the local cop (Christopher McDonald), Justin romances Galaxy, joining her on a geocaching adventure that is part treasure hunt and part hike, and figures out what his “thing” really is," says the movie's official website.
Best known for her title role in Caroline in the City, Thompson is a Minnesota native whose other acting credits include For The People, Ed, Jane Doe and Spy School.
You can meet Thompson and the cast of Splinterheads in a Q&A on Saturday, November 7 following the 2:20pm screening at the Regal Union Square. The cast will also be handing out 2,000 clown noses for a huge group photo in Union Square.
Splinterheads is in theaters on November 6. For more information, visit splinterheadsthemovie.com.
