Hollywood Reporter reports that Carey Mulligan has been cast in a new film, This Beautiful Fantastic . LONDON -- Terry Loane's "This Beautiful Fantastic" has attracted a sparkling cast with Carey Mulligan , Tom Wilkinson, Christopher Eccleston, Mackenzie Crook and Joanna Lumley all in line to shine. Billed as a modern fairy tale, Simon Aboud's script appears on the annual Brit List, a compilation of the best unproduced screenplays from these shores that circulates here and stateside. The movie is set to shoot in March 2010 shooting on location in Edinburgh, Scotland and in studio facilities in Cologne, Germany, the backers said.

Simone's take on Barney's Version Well, yes. And later that very day, just down the road at a cottage on the shore of Lake Memphremagog—as it happens, just a bay up from where my father wrote the book— Barney would be marrying his one true love, Miriam (Rosamund Pike).
