Casting round-up: The Great Gatsby and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Alan Dale
Jim from Neighbours to star in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. That Robinson family are really moving up in the world
Yes, he might have been in The OC and Lost and Torchwood and even that very silly Indiana Jones sequel, but he’ll always be Jim from Neighbours to us. Alan Dale has been announced as a last minute addition to the cast of David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Dale plays a police detective who’s drawing near retirement in the US adaptation of Steig Larsson’s novel, due out this Christmas.
In more Aussie news, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, about to begin filming in New South Wales, in, umm, 3D (anyone else think Luhrmann knocked back a bit too much Absinthe during the making of Moulin Rouge?) has announced two new cast members.
Former model Gemma Ward and Callan McAuliffe are to join  , Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher and Joel Edgerton in the new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel.
With a sexy young cast like that, GCSE English Lit revision is going to get a lot sweeter come next summer.

  https://www.istudy-china.com/    Related What are the advantages and disadvantages studying in China? Hello! My name is Clara and I am a former student of University of Nottingham Ningbo. I was an exchange student and lived in Ningbo for several months. So, I learned plenty of things. Even though, I bring with me positive memories, I also carry some downsides. China is a very complex country. It’s like going on a boat on a peacuful river and occasionaly having to dodge the obstacles in your way. Sometimes it’s just a rock and sometimes it’s a big current. Along with this metaphore, I have an interesting story that happened in Guillin. We were riding it’s famous river, going along the water in a bambu boat. When suddenly, another boat came too close to us. The driver dodge the boat but one of our chairs, fell in the water. It was very poetic to observe how the chair was submerging into the water bit by bit, and we could not do much about, as the current of the river moved us forward.
