What do you all think? It’s good to see Josh out with Anita<3 again.

Nothing we didn’t already know, but:

Victoria Justic of Spectacular! and Josh Hutcherson, from the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth have been spotted at several public events together recently, prompting some to speculate the two are an item.

Pop Star went right to the source to see if a romance was brewing. It turns out they’re just close friends.

“No, nothing,” said Josh. “We’re really good friends. We seem to like a lot of the same things.”

Another co-incidence bonding Victoria and Josh is that Josh is also great friends with Avan Jogia, who appears on Spectacular! with Victoria.

“Me and her and Avan get along great together so we’re pretty much together all the time,” he said.

He’s known the girls for the past few months.

“We met at the Variety Power of Youth charity event,” he said. “Basically I met them on the red carpet, and we were, like instant best friends! Like the three amigos, me, Avan, and Victoria.”

Now the trio is rarely apart.

“We hang out all the time,” he said. “And basically Avan and I have been inseparable. We’ve pretty much moved in with each other now, so yeah.”

How’s it goin? I just started a new movie this week called “Carmel”. It’s an independent film about art forgery. Hayden Panettiere, Alfred Molina and Lauren Bacall are all in it too. I’ve been playing tons of basketball and golf. I actually got to play Pebble Beach on Saturday. That was amazing (even if I didn’t have a very good game at all). Things are going good and I’m having a blast. I absolutely love what I do and it’s great to be working so I’m very happy. We’re having a BBQ so I gotta run but I’ll get some pics up sometime soon of filming. Take care.

Josh Hutcherson in rounding out the cast of “Carmel,” opposite Lauren Bacall, Alfred Molina, Dina Eastwood and Hayden Panettiere in a drama centered on art forgery.

The indie pic, which begins shooting this week in Carmel, Calif., is directed and produced by Lawrence Roeck.

Script, penned by Carlos de los Rios, focuses on a troubled 16-year-old boy, who wanders into Carmel, falls into the wrong crowd and becomes involved in art forgery. He’s befriended by a retired local artist who traces her career back to the early days of Carmel artists, writers and other creative types, all with skeletons in their closets.

Hutcherson recently starred in “Journey 3D” with Brendan Fraser and will next be seen in “Cirque du Freak” with Salma Hayek.

CARMEL, Calif. – The Monterey Peninsula has become the backdrop for a new feature film called “Carmel.” The four week filming schedule began Tuesday Morning at the Carmel Mission.

Stars of the film include rising star Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Center of the Earth), Alfred Molina, and Lauren Bacall.

Being filmed in “Clint Eastwood territory”, both Dina and Scott Eastwood will also have roles in the film.

The film follows the story of a 16-year-old boy (Hutcherson) who falls into the wrong crowd and becomes involved in art forgery. According to the film’s synopsis, the boy is then befriended by a retired artist in Carmel who traces her career back to the early days of Carmel artists, writers and other creative types.

Tuesday’s filming was the first visit to Carmel for Hutcherson. The young actor praised the local community, saying, “Everybody’s behind this (film)… it would be impossible to make a film like this on such a low budget if we didn’t have the support from the community… and we totally do!”

In between filming movie scenes, Hutcherson says, “I’m a big golfer so I’m excited to go golfing… I got to go to Pebble!”

The director of “Carmel” is a local filmmaker, Lawrence Roeck. Roeck grew up in Pebble Beach and Carmel and is receiving help from his writing partner Carlos De Lo Rios, also a Central Coast local.

The movie will be filmed in the 35mm format, as is scheduled for a theatrical release.

The film may still have available space for extras. For more information, contact the casting director, Hannah Smith-Walker at smithwalker@mac.com.
