Great news for the world of literature and film today – we have learned via Deadline that Patricia Highsmith’s great novel, The Price of Salt, is being adapted into a new film, Carol, which is set to star the wonderful, Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska. As you may know, the beautiful story follows two women, and their complex relationship, set in 1950s New York City. Do you think Cate and Mia were a good casting decision?
Carol won’t film until February 2013, but already I’m excited about this one. As you probably know by now, I am a huge Cate Blanchett fan, and I think this is the perfect role for her. The Price Of Salt is a heart breaking and beautiful story, and both Cate and Mia are lucky to have scored these roles, as are the producers lucky to have scored these actresses.


According to the infallible Wiki, The Price of Salt, has a latent lesbian reading. From someone who has read the book, it certainly does, and it has the making for a powerful movie with excellent acting. I can totally see Cate and Mia in this movie and in their respective roles. Cate will be brilliant as the elegant Carol. Likewise, I think Mia will really work wonders as the young and lonely, Therese Belivet.
Oooh, I am so excited about this one, I can’t even tell you. I think they have scored two of the most talented actresses working today, and they will be perfect in this movie. What do you think of the casting and the fact that the book is being adapted into a film?
