Wentworth Miller Believably Cast As A Handsome Genius Who Can’t Find Love

While his screenwriter career lifts off, Daddy’s still got to pay them bills. So star of ridiculous television and film/Stoker writer, Wentworth Miller, has picked up a new acting gig.

Miller will play the lead in the indie Analog, a 2005 Black List script about a geeky genius (who somehow looks like Wentworth Miller) who “tries to find a love connection in an increasingly digital world.” Awwww, genius handsomes are just like us.

Awesome name for a rapper-haver Mike Million will direct from his own script once funding has been secured. And if finding investors proves difficult, Miller has already volunteered to mastermind a plan to break the producers out of prison and recover the lost riches of DB Cooper. (Variety)

Kidman And Firth To See One Another In A Non-Awards Show Setting

Awards show buddies Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman will be seeing one another in a non-podium situation pretty soon. Both have signed on for Chan Wook-Park’s English-language debut, Stoker.

Mia Wasikowska has already signed on to star as a young girl who has strange things happen when her estranged uncle comes back into her life. The project was written by “Priso Break” and Resident Evil: Afterlife star Wentworth Miller. It only makes sense that Hollywood’s elite would be falling over themselves to work with the guy from “Prison Break.” I mean, those eyes…. (LA Times)

Mia Wasikowska May Star In Chan-Wook Park’s ‘Stoker,’ Funny Name Lovers Rejoice

Alice is going through the looking glass, and into the magical, shockingly violent, teeth-pulling world of director Chan-Wook Park (Oldboy). Last seen on his iPhone, shooting an entire feature film with it, Park and his people are negotiating with actress Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland) for her to star in his Fox Searchlight thriller Stoker. Yeah, if I was Park, I’d wanna stoke-her too.

Heyo, baddum-bum, winks.

The movie is about the “strange things” that occur when a young girl’s father dies and her long lost uncle moves back into her life. By “strange things,” I’m sure that includes lots and lots of murders, along with some graphic sex. And probably a few more murders in there. Park has a reputation to uphold.

Ridley & Tony Scott are producing with Michael Costigan, and Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) wrote the script under the name Ted Foulke. If you asked me whether Wentworth Miller or Ted Foulke was the pseudonym on the game show “Guess Which Name Is My Pseudonym,” I would have lost that year’s supply of Papa John’s Pizza. (Deadline)
