good news
My Isolde is going to star in a romance movie... A really dark one too. I just knew she was on the right track. Quote from the Playlist ensues:
"Gus Van Sant's new project "Restless," is coming along nicely. Australian star-in-the-making Mia Wasikowska (the lead of Tim Burton's upcoming "Alice In Wonderland") is in final negotiations to take the lead role in what is being called a dark coming-of-age drama by THR. Last time it was described as a "contemporary and distinctive take on young love," so the details seem to be a bit clearer. Though Movieline have the script and they've called the film, "the most emo love story to ever don black lipstick and listen to The Smiths."
Protagonist Enoch Brae is a 17-year-old funeral crasher, drawn to attending strangers’ memorials after losing both his parents. At one of them, he meets the beautiful, tomboyish Annabel Cotton (Wasikowska), a 16-year-old with Six Months to Live. Love then blooms among the gravestones as “the moon looks on knowingly and sympathetically."A male lead also needs to be cast. Are we looking at a Robert Pattinson-type figure and then maybe a "Romeo & Juliet"/ "Twilight"-like following perhaps?"
This looks like it's going to be my next guilty pleasure. And then a very smart director will have a stroke of genius and decide that hey! doomed love stories are all the rage now. let's just make a tristan and isolde movie that actually follows the damn story because it's perfect the way it is. And Robert Pattinson can't and will not play Tristan. Because i said so.
P.S. Mia is also blonde... you know, like Iseult la blonde? *wink
