Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olson have signed on to star in Very Good Girls.

They join a stellar cast that already includes Dustin Hoffman, Sissy Spacek and Peter Sarsgaard, and will play to teenagers who decide to lose their virginity after graduating high school.

Complicating matters is the fact that they both fall head over heels in love with the same charismatic street artist.

Written and directed by Naomi Foner ( Running On Empty ), the film will head into production in September.

Olsen, sister to the more famous Olsen twins, impressed this year’s Sundance Festival circuit with her performance in dark drama Martha Marcy May Marlene.

With Very Good Girls , she seems to be going for something lighter in tone, but still running down the same Indie track. Could she be film’s new Indie darling?
