The thriller Careful What You Wish For reportedly secured financing with Immortals and Transformers 2 star Isabel Lucas in the lead role.
A sexy thriller is described as Body Heat meets Basic Instinct about a self-conscious high school student Doug Martinboy who engages in an affair with Lena (Lucas), the ‘lonely wife' of a business executive who proves to be more dangerous than she appears.
The film, which will be directed by Elizabeth Allen known for her work in family films Ramona and Beezus and Aquamarine was written by Chris Frisina and is scheduled to begin production in the first quarter of next year.
Allen said in a statement:
I look forward to bringing the fascinating characters to life in this provocative and sexy coming of age thriller. The lead character of Lena is a uniquely complex femme fatale — a compelling archetype that hasn't been brought to the screen in some time and is due a revival. I am thrilled to be collaborating with the talented Isabel Lucas on this project and am excited by the depth and mystery she will infuse into the film.
As for Aussie thesp Lucas she will next be seen in the long-awaited Red Dawn remake, which hits theaters on November 21st, 2012, as well as the thriller The Loft from Belgium director Erik van Looy.
