Both
Brett Novek and
Rachel Myers failed to win the VH1 reality series,
America's Most Smartest Model, but their careers haven't exactly suffered from their loss. The two are set to appear in upcoming film productions, with Novek landing a role in the new horror-comedy
Penthouse and Myers completing her first short film, the title of which has yet to be revealed.
Penthouse revolves three lifelong friends living in a penthouse apartment who begin to clash when one of them tries to move with his girlfriend, and another's little sister drops by for a surprise visit. The movie is written by Corey Large (
Chasing Ghosts, Toxic, Loaded) and directed by Chris Levitus.
Brett Novek, who finished fourth in
America's Most Smartest Model, will appear as a character named Joey. Other cast members include
Kaley Cuoco (
Charmed, The Big Bang Theory), Rider Strong (
Bones, Veronica Mars, Pepper Dennis), Nikki Griffin (
The O.C.), Lochlyn Munro (
CSI: NY, Weeds, Smallville) and Jimmy Jean-Louis (
Heroes).
A release date for
Penthouse has not yet been determined.
As for Rachel Myers, who finished eighth on
America's Most Smartest Model and was known as "Blonde Rachel" on the show, the 28-year-old aspiring model from Palm Springs, California announced late last month on her official MySpace that she has finished work on her first short film. Although she did not give the title of the project, she did share some general details regarding her role and what fans can expect from the movie.
“It is finished and I can't wait to show it to the world!!!” she wrote. “My character Jamie is always different but similar to my free spirit and adventurous nature. It was fun and will have an amazing style in shots, as you will all see. Clips should be up in a month or so. This film is about a guy named Vex who's girlfriend is having breast augmentation and he has many conflicting thoughts. I am sooo grateful the cast was funny and I enjoyed my time!!!”
As with Brett Novek's
Penthouse, a release date for Rachel Myers' short film has yet to be scheduled.
