Cate Blanchett & Mia Wasikowska On For Carol, With Todd Haynes Directing

May 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Cate-BlanchettTodd Haynes, director of I’m Not There, Velvet Golmine and Far From Heaven, has signed up to direct Carol, which has Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska attached to star, according to ScreenDaily.

News of the first surfaced last May, when John Carney (Once) was attached to direct. He has had to back out due to scheduling conflicts, with Haynes stepping into the breach. The movie is an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novella The Price of Salt, which follows the relationship between two women in 1950s New York.

One is a young department store clerk (Wasikowska) who dreams of a better life, and the other is a woman (Blanchett) trapped in a loveless marriage. Playwright Phyllis Nagy wrote the screenplay adaptation.

It isn’t known when it might shoot.

April 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chloe-moretzChloe Moretz is certainly one of the most in-demand teens on the planet, and manages to do a good mix of Hollywood fare and interesting indie project. Now she’s got a new one, as she in negotiations to join the cast of Sils Maria for director Olivier Assayas (Carlos), according to Deadline.

Juliette Binoche is already cast as an ageing actress who becomes obsessed with a younger star called JoAnn (Moretz), after JoAnn lands a role made famous by the older performer years ago. Mia Wasikowska is also set to star in an unknown role.

It isn’t clear when the movie might shoot. Chloe Moretz will next be seen in Kick-Ass 2 as Hit-Girl, and as the title character in the horror remake Carrie.

Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, and Matthew Goode Get Creepy In New Stoker Poster

December 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stoker-poster1A slightly creepy new poster has emerged for Stoker, which mark Park Chan Wook’s English language debut. Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, and Matthew Goode, and seeing as Mia is holding a pencil in a bloodied hand, that’s probably good advice.

Based on a script written by Wentworth Miller, Stoker is about a young woman called India (Wasikowska) who is grieving after the death of her father (Dermot Mulroney). Things are made more complicated when Uncle Charlie (Goode), a relative she has never met before, comes to town and stays with India and her unstable mother (Kidman). But who is Uncle Charlie?

The film premieres at Sundance, and reaches UK cinemas on March 1st.

Rhys Ifans Up For Madame Bovary, Opposite Mia Wasikowska

October 25, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Rhys Ifans is one of those actors you can put in virtually any type of movie and he seems perfectly at home. While he spent this summer turning into a lizard in The Amazing Spider-man, now he’s planning to don some period garb, as he has joined the cast of Madame Bovary for director Sophie Barthes (Cold Souls).

Mia Wasikowska is set to play the title character in this adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s classic novel, which is about a married woman who tries to enhance her social status by having a number of extramarital affairs. Rhys Ifans will play Monsieur Lheureuse, a shifty merchant who convinces Bovary to buy goods on credit, which leads to her financial downfall. Paul Giamatti and Ezra Miller also star.

Sophie Barthes will direct from a screenplay by Rose Barreneche. The movie is expected to be faithful to the book, while emphasising more youthful and contemporary themes. Filming is expected to begin next spring in Europe. (Source: Variety)

Stoker Trailer – Park Chan-Wook’s English-language debut gets a promo

September 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s been a lot of interest in Stoker, largely because it marks the English-language debut of South Korean Oldboy helmer, Park Chan-Wook (and also because it’s written by Prison Break star Wentworth Miller). Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived. The film is about India (Mia Wasikowska’s), whose father dies in an auto accident. Shortly afterwards her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evelyn (Nicolne Kidman). Soon after his arrival, she comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him. It’s currently set for release in the UK on March 1st, 2013.

Albert Nobbs (DVD)

September 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Glenn Close, Mia Wasikowska, Janet McTeer, Pauline Collins, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 3rd 2012

Glenn Close spent 30 years trying to get Albert Nobbs to the big screen, ever since she played the title role in the stage version off-Broadway in 1982. Finally she’s gotten her wish. She doesn’t just star in the movie, she’s also produced, co-adapted the script and even wrote the lyrics for the Sinead O’Connor song that plays over the end credits.

She is excellent as Albert, a waiter/butler in a late-19th Century Irish hotel who, despite being born a woman, has spent the last 30 years living as a man – a secret he has kept from absolutely everybody. He thinks the truth may get out after he’s forced to share his bed for the night with a painter called Hubert Page. [Read more…]

Mia Wasikowska Eyed For Catching Fire

June 25, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While some of the rumours surrounding The Hunger Games: Catching Fire casting have proved to be more reliable than others, the latest reports via The Playlist say actresses Mia Wasikowska and newcomer Zoe Aggeliki are the top candidates to portray former Hunger Games champion Johanna Mason.

The character hails from District 7, and it is said she has no friends or family back home. She becomes an ally to Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) during the 75th Hunger Games, although she has a rather pricky relationship with Katniss.

Director Francis Lawrence is said to be keen on finding the right actress for the role, whether she’s an established talent like Mia Wasikowska, or a fresh face like Zoe Aggeliki. There is speculation that Zoe Aggeliki may sign on in the next few days, but that is not set in stone yet. The actress will make her feature debut next summer in R.I.P.D., where she plays the avatar of Ryan Reynolds’ character, Nick. She also landed a role in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, as Silena Beauregard.

Shooting on Catching Fire starts later this summer, so the role will have to be cast soon.

Anton Yelchin Joins Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive

June 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It appears Anton Yelchin likes vampires, as after last year’s Fright Night he’s heading back into a film about the bloodsuckers, although this time with a more arthouse bent, as Deadline reports that he’s signed on to star in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, a drama about the centuries-long romance between two star-crossed vampires.

When it was first announced, the movie was due to star Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender in what Jarmusch describes as a “crypto-vampire love story”, following the centuries-long love story of two vampire lovers. Since then John Hurt has signed on and there have also been rumours Tom Hiddleston has stepped in to replace Fassbender.

However what isn’t certain is who will play the central vampiric lovers. Jarmusch is deliberately keeping quiet about his plans, but it certainly sound like something larger scale than he normally takes on.

Mia Wasikowska Making Tracks Across The Outback

May 24, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actress Mia Wasikowska is going back to her homeland of Australia and into the outback, as she has signed on to star in the cross-country tale Tracks for HanWay Films and director John Curran, according to Variety.

The project is based on the memoir by Robyn Davidson, who traveled more than 1,600 miles from Alice Springs in the heart of Australia, all the way to the country’s west coast in 1977. She made the journey with four camels and a dog, earning her the nickname, ‘The Camel Lady’. Her expedition was chronicled by National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan.

Emile Sherman and Iain Canning (The King’s Speech, Shame) are producing through their See-Saw Films banner, with HanWay Films representing the international rights. Here’s what the producers had to say about Mia Wasikowska, “Having produced films with incredibly powerful central performances, from Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush to Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, we are so excited to have Mia come on board to play the extraordinary role in Tracks. John is an incredibly talented filmmaker and we feel the story of one woman, transforming her life by attempting the impossible, is both universal and timely.”

It isn’t known when the movies might shoot.
