Casting News: Dunst, Gosling Are Good Things

Kirsten Dunst needs to get her big hair on for Jarecki’s ’80s flick.

Kirsten Dunst is in talks to join the cast of All Good Things, Andrew Jarecki’s feature directing debut. Ryan Gosling is already signed for the project.

Jarecki, the documentarian behind Capturing the Friedmans, wrote the screenplay, along with Marcus Hinchey and Marc Smerling. Here’s how Variety describes it:

Set in the 1980s, story centers on the scion of a New York real estate dynasty (Gosling) who falls for a beautiful girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Dunst). But the fairy tale ends when the girl disappears. As a down-and-out detective stumbles on info that may lead to the truth, the political stakes get higher and people close to the case end up dead.

Uh oh!

Dunst is at Sundance to oversee the premiere of Welcome, a short that marks her directing debut. She next appears in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Gosling would probably like to be known for something else other than the tag, “recently dropped out of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones.”
