The RESTLESS Mia Wasikowska

Not too long ago, it was announced that the Oscar nominated Milk director Gus Van Sant is set to reteam with his Psycho remake fellow producer Brian Grazer for an original work titled RESTLESS written by first-time screenwriter Jason Lew
The plot for RESTLESS is kept under wraps, but described as contemporary and distinctive take on young love. It deals with the complex tale of a teenage boy and girl who share a preoccupation with mortality. Bryce Dallas Howard helps produce the project which some thought would also serve as her starring vehicle but Hollywood Reporter says goldilocks in the image above, Mia Wasikowska, has signed on to star in RESTLESS.

Some may be more familiar with Mia’s work in HBO’s In Treatment, but when Tim Burton‘s ALICE IN WONDERLAND in 3D comes out next year, nobody will forget Mia’s face and that blue dress she’s wearing.
It was either Robert Redford‘s Civil War drama THE CONSPIRATOR or this and she decided to do the Van Sant movie. I bet it was a tough call, I wouldn’t wanna pass up on the opportunity to work with either director but unfortunately both start shooting this fall.
Now producers are looking for the male lead.
