Perhaps the biggest surprise, at least in trailer form, was "Tulip Fever." The long-in-the-works adaptation of a novel by "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" author Deborah Moggach, adapted by Tom Stoppard, is set during the tulip boom in Holland in the 17th century, and follows the romance between a young painter (Dane DeHaan) and the wife (Alicia Vikander) of a wealthy merchant (Christoph Waltz). It sounds like a familiar period piece, but while the footage didn't do a great job at setting up the time and the place, it succeeded in making it look like a costume drama with a bit of attitude, thanks to the high passion of the ludicrously attractive young leads, and a diverse and appealing supporting turn, including Jack O'Connell, Holliday Grainger, Cara Delevingne, Judi Dench and, for some reason, Zach Galafianakis. With "Mandela" director Justin Chadwick at the helm, we're a bit cautious, but it definitely looks better than expected.

This is interesting
Reading her other tweets,she said that "her friend worked with her on set"... I guess we'll read other stories,if she acts like a diva...I wonder how that came about though. The tweeter seems to exaggerate a little on av but I'm not saying she's lying either. I guess Alicia doesn't like to be brought the wrong shoe hahah.
Yes,it's a cameo. In my opinion Tulip Fever will be another generic costume drama with some good performances (Waltz,Alicia,Dench,O'Conell). Weinstein has better material for this Awards Season... I think he will use the buzz for her other films (TDG,TLBO) to promote Tulip Fever,if it comes out this year. She has definetely a better shot with other roles.I'm excited about Tulip Fever but i just hope Chadwick didn't make it looks like a soap opera like he did with The Other Boleyn Girl
just found out that her role in Adam Jones is apparently just as a cameo?
that awkward moment when the cameo is mentioned first in the cast list![]()
