Garner’s got a good excuse, though – she’s just announced that she’s pregnant with her third child, which will put a bump in her schedule.
Now Wilde will feature as a trophy wife who lures a weak-willed, small-town chemist (Sam Rockwell) from his loveless marriage with nights of passion and the pleasures of prescription drugs. But things go haywire when they start to plan to kill Wilde’s husband.
Michelle Monaghan is also in the cast, playing Rockwell’s wife, which makes us question quite why he’d be cheating on her in the first place. Oh, and Judi Dench is the movie’s narrator.
Geoff Moore and David Posamentier, who wrote the script and saw it land squarely on the 2010 Black List, are stepping up to direct. Given the changes in casting (Rockwell is taking over for Jeremy Renner), the shoot has been pushed back slightly, though the idea is to start work this autumn in Maryland.(Empire Online)
