Anna Friel
Bradley Cooper might have some eye candy on the set of Dark Fields with the (possible) addition of Anna Friel. Currently in negotiations with Relativity, she is hoping to co-star in the thriller.
Anna Friel in Talks for Dark Fields
Also starring Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish, Dark Fields centers on a down-and-out writer (Cooper) who gets his hands on a top-secret pharmaceutical drug that makes one smarter. He experiences sudden financial and social success but soon discovers that the drug has lethal and lasting side effects, including "trip-switching," a phenomenon in which time moves with a stop-motion quality. Before long, mysterious antagonists are pursuing him.
Friel will play Cooper's ex-wife, a woman who was a go-getter before their breakup.
If Friel looks familiar to you, I have a couple reasons why. First, she played the romantic interest in Pushing Daisies and, second, she was recently seen opposite Will Ferrell in Land of the Lost.
