Enchantress of Numbers casting is awesome

By now, if you follow my blog, you have probably realized my small crush on Zooey Deschanel. To quote a post on summer movies of 2009:

500 Days of Summer – Okay, I’m not as excited about this one, but still. Zooey Deschanel is in it. Really, she could just stand on screen for two hours and stare and I’d probably still go to the theatre, plunk down $8 and come out loving it.

And, though not mentioned here – but discussed over at a work blog – I am also a really big fan of Ada Lovelace, the “mother of computer programming” following my exposure to her in The Difference Engine.

I just found out via Gizmodo today that not only is there a movie in the works about Ada Lovelace entitled Enchantress of Numbers but Zooey is possibly on board to play Ada.  Holy hell!
