According to MTV, Duff may star in an indie film about a girl who wants to commit suicide. After leaving Disney this would probably be a good move on her part. Do a few dramas and independent films on the side while she makes her teen chick-flicks. That way she can build up her resume and have a chance at a career as an adult.

Hilary Duff is ready to commit suicide. OK, maybe she isn't totally sold on the idea of slashing her wrists or leaping out a window, but she's thought about it. Or rather she's thinking about considering it.
Hilary gets a lot of scripts these days — which her mom (hey, she is just 15) and her dialog coach meticulously sort through — but one project in particular recently caught her eye. It would offer her the chance to play someone a bit dark, a bit edgy and, well, a bit suicidal.
"I don't want to say the name of the script, because it's not, like, a done deal or anything," Duff said cautiously, shortly after finishing up a recent photo shoot. "But it's more of an independent movie. It wouldn't be, like, a big box-office thing. ... [The main character] has this horrible life. And she talks about some really weird things. And she's just kind of really out there. ... It's very dark, but it's funny at the same time."
Wait a minute. Will the world embrace Hilary Duff — you know, Lizzie f'n McGuire — in a black-humor indie drama? Well, stranger things have happened. The Houston-born actress isn't old enough to drive, yet she's already the "tween" queen of an empire that includes books, games, clothes, a top 10 soundtrack and a hit flick all based around the Disney Channel's "Lizzie McGuire," which she started making at 13.
