Following her success at Sundance, and more importantly my award worthy article about her, breakout star Elizabeth Olsen has already been cast in her next picture; where she’ll appear opposite a fantastic cast of Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro and Cillian Murphy. Is the young actress already more successful than her made-for-TV movie star sisters? Maybe not moneywise, but certainly in terms of Hollywood success and respect.
From Buried director Rodrigo Cortes, Red Lights is a thriller about paranormal activity in which psychology professor Margaret Matheson (Weaver) attempts to debunk a very reputable psychic (De Niro) who has just returned to the limelight after 30 years. Olsen will play Matheson’s student and Cillian Murphy her love interest (I’ve never been more jealous).
The film is in pre-production right now, and will shoot later this year, making this a huge year for Olsen with two big films at Sundance and Hollywood film ready to film. After only one year of auditions, her big break has come a lot sooner than most.
