Mia Wasikowska In Talks For Stoker From Oldboy Director Park Chan Wook

Mia Wasikowska In Talks For ‘Stoker,’ From ‘Oldboy’ Director Park Chan-Wook

Last year Park Chan-wook was attached to direct with Carey Mulligan in the lead and Jodie Foster in a key supporting role. Now both actresses have moved on, but it looks like Mia Wasikowska will have the lead when the film shoots this spring.

Deadline has the news but doesn’t go into detail about the departures of Mulligan and Foster. Scheduling is likely at the root of both. Carey Mulligan is soon doing Shame with Michael Fassbender and Steve McQueen, and is tapped to play Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s new version of The Great Gatsby, should that actually move forward. And before Jodie Foster works with Neill Blomkamp on Elysium this summer, she has Roman Polanski’s God of Carnage booked, and likely has to devote serious time to repping her directorial effort The Beaver when Summit releases the film in late March and early April.
