‘Miss Conception’ on DVD

First Look Studios proudly announces the DVD release of MISS CONCEPTION. Written by Camilla Leslie and directed by Eric Styles, MISS CONCEPTION follows baby-crazed Georgina Scott (Heather Graham, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) as she races against her ticking biological clock to conceive a child through unconventional, but comedic methods. The DVD is in stores August 5, 2008 at an SRP of $24.98.

Georgina Scott is a broody 33 year-old, who sends her boyfriend, Zak, (Tom Ellis) packing when it has become apparent that he doesn’t share her desire for a bundle of joy. Zak sets off on a documentary shoot in hopes that she’ll cool off in his absence. But Georgina discovers that early menopause runs in her family and heads for a specialist with her reluctant best friend, Clem (Mia Kirshner, “The L Word”), in tow. Learning that her baby making days are numbered, Georgina enlists Clem and their camp pal, Justin (Orlando Seale), to make the most of it. A battle plan is drawn up but their escapades become increasingly frantic as Georgina explores internet sperm donors, night clubbers, a love struck co-worker and funeral-goers in her desperate and hilarious attempts to beat the biological clock.

A delicious ‘Miss Conception’

Ever want to attend a Hollywood movie press junket? Now’s your chance as SheKnows takes our readers inside Heather Graham’s press roundtable last week.

A veteran of over two dozen films, from “Boogie Nights” to “Bowfinger,” Heather Graham is starring in the new film, “Miss Conception.” She gathered reporters at the Hilton in Glendale and SheKnows is thrilled to present the uncut, honest answers an artist gives when sitting a few feet away from reporters discussing their most recent passionate project.

The very British Miss Conception
“We had a coach. He was amazing. Thank God for him. We were really scared.

I think the producer had a situation where at first the coach was going to be on the set for only the first two weeks so Mia (Kirshner) and I thought we need this dialect coach the whole time. We definitely fought for that. He made us feel relaxed, gave you confidence, I was lucky to work with such a good coach. He said in London it’s cool now to mix in a little Cockney with your London high class.

I started talking in the accent all day. When I got the job, there wasn’t really that much time to work on it. We’d go to lunch and talk, talk, talk, as much as we could. The script was always written as an English film, the ways the people talk are so British. It would not have worked to have us talk like Americans.”

Heather Graham Talks ‘Miss Conception’

The actress talks about her new film, British accents, future projects and more.

What can I say about Heather Graham that we don’t already know. The talented actress was stealing scenes in such classics as License to Drive and Swingers which led up to her astonishing breakthrough performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights. Her new film is the unique comedy Miss Conception which revolves around a desperate woman’s attempt to bear a child, before it is literally too late. I was lucky enough to be invited to a roundtable interview session with the actress, where she discussed her new movie and much more. Here’s what she had to say.

Upcoming SheKnows.com ‘Miss Conception’ Interview

Heather Graham is sitting down for an interview with SheKnows on June 3 and sent us two exclusive clips from her latest movie. “Miss Conception” opens in limited release June 6.

“Miss Conception” is the story of a woman in her mid-thirties (Heather Graham) who believes she is going through early menopause and insists on becoming pregnant at the quickest pace. As the tag line says, ‘She does not need Mr. Right, she needs Mr. Right Now.”

The film takes place in Britain and also stars Mia Kirschner. Note in this exclusive clips, Graham’s spot-on British accent. It seems the easiest of lilts to replicate, but to maintain over a 90-minute film is difficult to say the least.

As all of her friends come together to find her the perfect man to produce the perfect baby, plans go awry, hope arises and the entire time, comedy is never too far from the surface.

“Miss Conception” arrives in theaters June 6 and SheKnows sits down with its star, Heather Graham, on June 3.

Stay tuned for all the details on this funny and endearing film that is the perfect antidote to the summer movie explosions, robots and aliens. “Miss Conception” is the rarest of summer movies, it has heart.
