There Will Be Blood co-star Paul Dano is staying firmly in the indie world, nabbing the lead in the music drama For Ellen.

Jon Heder has already signed on for a supporting role in writer/director So Young Kim's (wonder how many stupid film executives have tried the joke "so, Young Kim, what's your script about?") latest project, and she'll start cranking the cameras next month in New York. The state, not the city, which has a hard time playing small Midwestern towns.
