Actress Carey Mulligan is certainly doing well for herself, having come out of nowhere in the last few years to be the actress of choice for those looking for a young actress who has both looks and genuine talent. Now she’s got a new movie, as she’s attached to star in a new flicke called Outback, which Gary Ross will direct for GK Films.
Nissar Modi is currently writing the screenplay, based on an idea both he and Gary Ross conceived. However, nothing is known about the story, except that it is set in the Australian Outback (but I’d imagine you’d already guessed that from the title), although perhaps surprisingly, it’s going to be a sci-fi action movie, according to Variety.
It isn’t known when production will start on Outback, although both the director and star will be busy shooting high-profile projects this summer. Gary Ross is currently making The Hunger Games, while Carey Mulligan will shoot The Great Gatsby this summer for director Baz Luhrmann. Therefore it’s unlikely Outback will go in front of the camera until early next year.
