It seems that no one wants to get rid of this overused reference to “Alice in Wonderland”, but here it is again: Diane Wiest and Tammy Blanchard have joined the cast of Rabbit Hole for Blossom Films, Olympus Pictures and Odd Lot Entertainment.
The film is an adaptation of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Broadway play. It follows the struggle of a couple – played by Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart – as they cope with the unexpected death of their 4-year old son.
John Cameron Mitchell (Shortbus) is directing.

Pulitzer Prize winning play “Rabbit Hole.”

Spider-Man 4 is close to gaining a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright to pen the script. David Lindsay-Abaire,
who won a Pulitzer in 2007 for his drama “Rabbit Hole,” is in final negotiations to write for Columbia.
Plot factors are zipped shut.
Scribes have always been an important factor in Spider-Man movies. Veteran scriber, Alvin Sargent, best known for 1973’s Paper Moon and 1980’s Ordinary People, served as a writer on the second and third films. Michael Chabon, another Pulitzer winner, also worked on Spider-Man 2.
James Vanderbilt, who wrote Zodiac and X-Men: Origins of Wolverine, previously wrote a draft of Spider-Man 4.
Signing Lindsay-Abaire shows that filmmakers are intent to focus on character, something that got lost in the third installment with a rather convoluting plot. Characterization has always been the key to Spider-Man franchise success. It’s good to see it coming back.
Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are back with a good chance Kirsten Dunst is expected to return as well.
