Mia Wasikowska Is the New Face of Miu Miu

Mia Wasikowska is no stranger to the fashion industry — she appeared in various fashion magazines over the past year and made an appearance at this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards — but her new ad spot for Miu Miu marks her first major campaign.

Wasikowska replaces the label’s fall face, 15-year-old actress Hailee Steinfeld, and resort face, 34-year-old model Guinevere van Seenus.

Miu Miu has a long-standing tradition of tapping hotly tipped actresses to front the brand, previously hiring Vanessa Paradis, Selma Blair, Lindsay Lohan and now Mia.

‘Wettest County’ Pushed Back to End of August

We started today’s news with “this is a shame,” and I’ll reiterate that just a few hours later: this is a shame. As much as it saddens me, BoxOfficeMojo informs us that John Hillcoat‘s Wettest County in the World has been moved from its original date of April 20th to August 31st. Not the end of the world, but for a film that was supposed to hit at the end of 2011 and then got pushed to the spring, this latest development is bound to induce some groans.

Yet, though I’d prefer to see the movie in three and a half months and not almost eight, this decision makes total sense on the Weinstein Company’s part. April 20th is a pretty crowded day for wide releases — House at the End of the Street, Lockout, The Lucky One, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and something called Chimpanzee all hit. August 30th, on the other hand, only brings 7500 and The Possession, or the typical horror fare that hits around Labor Day. (Weinstein was also supposed to open Scary Movie 5 on April 20th, but that hasn’t shot a single frame. Let’s be serious here.)

The cops and criminals, Prohibition-flavored events that star Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska has the potential to blow those other two openers out of the box office water, depending on how they sell it. (Coming less than a month and a half after The Dark Knight Rises, which stars both Oldman and Hardy, could be used to County‘s advantage.) Good on it for that; I still want to see the thing right away.

Mia Wasikowska Offered Female Lead in ‘Oldboy’

As Clive Owen ponders the villain role in Spike Lee‘s “Oldboy”, Mia Wasikowska has been offered the female lead of Marie. If Wasikowska accepts, she’ll be starring opposite Josh Brolin, the only star confirmed so far for the English-language remake of the twisted 2003 thriller from Korean filmmaker Chan-wook Park.

“The Wettest County” Set For April 2012 Release

There was a point earlier this year when it looked like we might see John Hillcoat‘s The Wettest County by the end of the year. The Weinstein Company picked up the film, originally called The Wettest County in the World, at Cannes, and it seemed reasonable to assume that a bootlegging tale from the director of The Proposition and The Road starring Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf might be a solid year-end release.

But the Weinsteins, focused as ever on awards season, have already pegged The Artist, The Iron Lady and My Week With Marilyn as the company’s year-end contenders. So The Wettest County is now set to arrive in April 2012.

The specific date is April 20, 2012, which means the film will face thin competition from Scary Movie 5, the Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace ‘Taken in space’ movie Lockout, and The House at the End of the Street, starring Jennifer Lawrence.
