Isabel Lucas and Nick Jonas to Star in Thriller “Careful What You Wish For”

March 18, 2013 | Posted by Linda Ge in Casting Leave a comment

careful Nick Jonas is the latest former Disney tween idol looking to break away from that squeaky clean image, and he has enlisted the help of Australia beauty Isabel Lucas to help him do it. It was announced today that the two will star in thriller “Careful What You Wish For”, which aspires to draw comparisons to “Basic Instinct” and “Body Heat.” Right. We’ll see.

Chris Frisina and Gregg Hurwitz wrote the script and Elizabeth Allen will direct the film set on a lake house community. Jonas will play Doug, who has an affair with Lucas’ Lena, the young wife of an investment banker who are renting the lake house next door. Doug finds himself in over his head when her jealous husband ends up dead and his substantial life insurance policy is revealed.

Lucas broke out when she played a very lifelike alien robot in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and recently wrapped up shooting on Terrence Malick’s “Knight of Cups” opposite Christian Bale. Outside of their Disney-sponsored projects, Jonas is the most prolific about his three brothers, and has done musicals in London and on Broadway and had an arc on the first season of NBC musical series “Smash.”

Australian up and comer Isabel Lucas has been added to the cast of indie thriller Loft, to be directed by Erik Van Looy, who directed the original Belgium film in 2008.

Loft, which also stars Patrick Wilson (Insidious) and James Marsden (Enchanted), tells the story of a group of married friends who rent a loft so that they can have a place to rendezvous with their respective mistresses. Sure enough, drama begins to ensue when the unknown body of a woman is found in the loft leading the friends to become suspicious of each other.
Variety reports state that Lucas will be playing “Sarah, a naive young beauty who unexpectedly comes into the lives of the five friends.”

Lucas first found fame on Australian soap “Home and Away” but since moving to Hollywood has found roles in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and can next be seen alongside Zack Snyder’s chosen Superman, Henry Cavill in the highly anticipated Immortals,
