Fox Searchlight takes another Mulligan
EXCLUSIVE: 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. More on the plot as it becomes
available, but what is known is that this time they're adding even more boldfaced
names from across the pond. Ridley and Tony Scott's Scott Free Productions is in
talks to produce. The company 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. 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 Hollywood's
most commercial names don't want to let it go.

Carey Mulligan and Jodie Foster are attached to Stoker, a Ted Foulke project
exec produced by Tony and Ridley Scott. Set up at Fox Searchlight, the movie
will focus on a moody teenager who — after the death of her father — has to deal
with a mysterious uncle who returns to spend time with the family.
