Gus Van Sant knows how to direct drama and Restless appears to be yet another in the familiar mold. Of course, this one involves a ghost to mix things up a bit, but by and large the film seems relatively understated. Now we have a brand new trailer for the film and while I’m not sold yet, I am interested. This is the first writing credit for actor Jason Lew. Restless stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and I can’t wait to see her in more films. Hit the jump for the trailer and synopsis. Restless opens on January 28th, 2011.

THR is reporting that Mia Wasikowska has been cast in Gus Van Sant’s “Restless”. The actress had previously been contemplating a part in Robert Redford’s “The Conspirator” before going with “Restless”. We still don’t know much about the film except it will tell a “complex tale of a teenage boy and girl who share a preoccupation with mortality”. We also know that the film will be produced by Bryce Dallas Howard and will be written by one of her film school classmates, Jason Lew, who wrote the play that the film will be based on. You may know Wasikowska from her critically acclaimed performance on HBO’s “In Treatment”, but I’m sure she will be huge next year once Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” opens as she’s playing Alice. Wasikowska can also next be seen in “Amelia” later this month.

Gus van Sant is in negotiations to develop and direct “Restless”. The film will be written by first time screenwriter Jason Lew and produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Bryce Howard. Not much is known about the film right now but you can click on the jump and find out the kind of interesting story of how this project came to life.
