Imagine Entertainment announced filming has just begun on Gus Van Sant's as yet untitled film starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Henry Hopper (the 19 year old son of Dennis Hopper and Katherine LaNasa). Based on the stage play Of Winter and Water Birds, written by and adapted for the screen by Jason Lew, the latest love story from Van Sant is being shot in Portland, Oregon. Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer and Ron Howard are producing along with Howard's daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard, and Van Sant.According to Imagine Entertainment's start of production press release, the film is about "two outsiders, both shaped by the circumstances that have brought them together, [who] forge a deep and lasting love."
First time feature film producer Bryce Dallas Howard stated, "This film is a quietly epic coming of age story. It captures the profoundly defining turning point of a young person's life with stark realism, irreverent humor, and intense emotion. I think that Gus was drawn to this story because he has an uncanny ability to convey the complexities of youth and outsiders. For this is, above all else, the journey of an outsider."
Ryo Kase, Schuyler Fisk, and Jane Adams co-star in the film. The behind the scenes crew includes director of photography Harris Savides, production designer Anne Ross, editor Elliot Graham, and costume designer Danny Glicker.
