We previously reported that Alice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska had landed the lead role in an untitled coming of age drama from director Gus Van Sant, and now two more young actors are have signed on to the film. According to Reuters, Hollywood’s second generation will be front and center as Schuyler Fisk and Henry Hopper join the cast.
Alice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska is taking the leap from one highly visual director to another. According to THR, the young actress is in talks to star in Gus Van Sant’s next film, Restless. It will be a dark coming of age drama, that will once again have Wasikowska front and center as the lead.
Gus van Sant is in negotiations to develop and direct Restless, an original screenplay by first-time screenwriter Jason Lew that will be produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Bryce Dallas Howard (THR).
It does seem like a rather “friendly” film, with the two Howards involved, and is only furthered when you realize that the screenwriter, Lew, went to college with Bryce Howard and the two acted in plays together.
