Laura Dern joins the cast


She's confirmed to play Renata. Awesome news. This is a "Wild" reunion with Laura, Reese and Jean-Marc Vallee directing a few episodes.

This is such a great trio of talent - Kidman, Dern and Witherspoon. Woodley's good for exposure, and is a big get for the show, so I hope she delivers.

Will she be going naked in this? HBO shows are mostly big on nudity, which definitely add to the story and attract more viewership. Plus if there is no nudity it is not considered normal these days.

Other ladies on the show have gone nude in various roles too. So can we expect fair bit of nudity or not? I believe reviews of the book mention references to sex. And Celeste having intense angry sex with her husband. Whew.

Only one Australian so far. Is this going to be Americanized, or do we get to hear how well the rest can do Aussie accents (which would be fun)?

Laura Dern will be great as blond bob Renata

Me too. I think she'll be great, and it'll be fun seeing her go toe to toe with Reese as Madeline. Hope they include the birthday party/Disney on Ice incident! :)
