In fact, she almost took it as a personal challenge to be as outrageous as she possibly could in the role of Lenore, a student with a thing for older men who is determined to get it together with the eponymous pensioner Dick (De Niro). “The entire movie she is trying to have sex with him, literally in every scene,” she laughs. “One of the reasons I signed on to this movie was because of Lenore’s clear objective; I love a simple motivation! I’ve done scenes with Bob where I’ve done bong rips from his crotch and blown smoke right into his mouth, wheel-barrowed him on the dance fl oor…stuff I never thought I would ever do with Robert De Niro,” she says. “It’s been great. I still can’t believe it happened but it did.” As well Dirty Grandpa, Plaza can also be seen this month on DVD in the seventh and fi nal season of the acclaimed comedy Parks And Recreation.

BOSCH WILL BE BACK A third season of the crime show Bosch has got the green light. Based on books by bestselling crime writer Michael Connelly, the next season of the show will be based mainly on The Black Echo, which was actually the fi rst book to feature his hero Detective Harry Bosch. However, Connelly says the series will also incorporate elements of A Darkness More than Night, the seventh Bosch novel. The second season of Bosch – which is released on DVD this month – was based primarily on Connelly’s Trunk Music, with additional parts from The Drop and The Last Coyote. “As a priority for season two we wanted to show more of Harry’s relationship with his daughter,” the novelist says. “Well, she lives in Las Vegas with her mother. So Trunk Music, which is partly set in Vegas, became an obvious choice. It became the backbone of the season and we then supplemented it with elements of the two other books.”
