Cate Blanchett & Mia Wasikowska cast in Carol
Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska are heading the cast of the new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s Carol and directed by John Crowley. Carol is based on the novel The Price of Salt which is notable for being a lesbian romance with an ending in which neither party ends up dead. This is quite an accomplishment for a novel published in 1952. The novel’s two main characters are Therese Belivet (Mia Wasikowska), a lonely young woman, and Carol (Cate Blanchett), the elegant stranger Therese encounters one day at her temporary job in a New York department store. Therese is struck by an elegant and beautiful woman in her thirties, whom she serves at the store. The woman, Carol, gives her address to Therese in order to have her purchases delivered. On an impulse, Therese sends Carol a card to her home address. Carol, who is going through a difficult separation and divorce and is herself quite lonely, unexpectedly responds, and the two begin to spend time together. I think you can fill in the rest. The film is set to start production February 2013.

So happy about this, fantastic casting!!
