Fox Searchlight has what appears to be a fruitful collaboration with Carey Mulligan in the upcoming “Never Let Me Go.” Now it appears the specialty division won’t let her go.
The company of “Juno” and “Little Miss Sunshine” is developing a new movie titled “Stoker,” with Mulligan in talks to star. The kicker? The project is written by “Prison Break” star Wentworth Miller.
“Stoker” tells of an eccentric teenager whose enigmatic and estranged uncle returns to the family after the death of the girl’s father. And the company is adding some more boldfaced names from across the pond: Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free Productions is in talks to produce. Searchlight is also in talks with Jodie Foster to costar with Mulligan.
It’s rare for a commercial powerhouse such as Scott Free to develop boutique films (though they did work with Searchlight on the current relationship comedy “Cyrus”). And Foster has only recently taken a turn to the lower-budget (she directed and costars in upcoming quirky dramedy “The Beaver”). But Searchlight has honed populist specialty films to an art form and, apparently, Hollywood’s most commercial names don’t want to let it go either.

I will never stop to be amazed by this man’s many talents! Hey! I’m French (Canadian) and I have difficulty making out some English words such as STOKER. I looked it up in an English-French dictionary and found a few different meanings. Mary (or any other fan), do you know what it means? Thank you for your help. And let’s hope Wentworth’s project reaches it’s final destination=the big screen!

I loved WMs appreance in SVU. He was Nate Kendal from the very beginning. Is he going to appear again as there where a lot of unanswered questions. He fitted in very nicely. Hope so, Emma. UK.

OK, I got my answer; it’s the girls family name. Wentworth wrote it under the pen name Ted Foulke. See this site for more info:

Hi Elisabeth.
The name, Stoker is a reference to the author of Dracula,Bram Stoker.
Went talked about writing some sort of vampire story but not necessarily with vampires with the teeth that suck blood out of people 🙂 more like the ‘vampires’ of to day sort of thing.

Good for him. I admire him very much because of his skill and talent in acting, but more so because I can see there is a very intelligent man in his person. Good luck Wentworth Miller. But please do not concentrate on this alone, but do more movies so we can see more of you.

Wow!
He has sooo many talents. I wish he were playing a role in his own movie. But I definitely want to watch Stoker. It sounds really cool.
