Screen Daily talked to Terrence Malick’s producers Sarah Green and Nicolas Gonda a couple of months ago, and they offered some new plot details on Knight Of Cups.

Our filmography page for the film has also been updated.

What’s next?

SG: We recently finished shooting Knight of Cups, which is about the LA movie business. Our untitled film, the one set against the music scene in Texas, will begin shooting in a few weeks. It was called Lawless but we agreed to give that name to John Hillcoat.

Christian Bale ia a lead in Knight of Cups and has a supporting role in the untitled film, and both are set in the contemporary world. We’ll edit them simultaneously and FilmNation is on board both. We consider FilmNation partners on all of Terry’s films going forward.

Check out this fantastic new interview with Izzy from the Cairns Post today! In it she talks about Cairns, Sea Shepherd, her agent Sharron Meissner, and – most excitingly of all – her experience on Knight Of Cups. I don’t know about you, but I’ve missed hearing from Isabel, so I really enjoyed reading this!

You can also find it in our Press section now too.

Acting out for the environment

She may be one of Hollywood’s hottest rising stars, but Isabel Lucas remains true to her Cairns roots with her environmental passions.

She’s just wrapped up filming alongside Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett, but Isabel’s mind is hardly on Hollywood.

Rather, it’s on the Coral Sea, and the Kimberley in northwest Australia, and off the coast of California… in fact, anywhere the environment is under threat.

The experience of filming alongside three Oscar winners and under the guidance of a director she idolises is barely enough to distract the former Cairns schoolgirl from a passion equal to acting.

While her stomping ground is a far cry from her home in Los Angeles, a move that has helped fill her resume with feature films Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Immortals, The Pacific and Daybreakers, the plight of the Far North’s marine environment remains a priority.

“I feel we are so lucky to experience living in such a beautiful part of the world,” Isabel says of Cairns.

For the first of several movie updates coming today, I have added some gorgeous new photos of Isabel on the set of Knight Of Cups in Santa Monica earlier this week. She is looking beautiful as always, wearing a long green floral dress, and filming another scene with Christian Bale. We also have our first shot of Isabel with director Terrence Malick! I’m so excited for this film

Since I last posted an update here, the gallery has been updated with new photos from the set of Knight Of Cups, and two new sets of candids! Izzy was snapped out and about in Hollywood with friends during her time off from the film.

I’m now in the process of adding a few additional shots from some 2009 appearances, which you will be able to find here.

A recent article about Knight Of Cups on the LA Times talks about the filming of a scene in a club, and provides a few more details on the basic plot of the film. When I say ‘more’, I don’t mean by much … the new description is almost as vague as the previous one (which was ‘a man searching for love and truth’)!

It was as trippy as it sounds. Malick was a lone cameraman with only a lighting assistant by his side. Our brother blog Movies Now tells us the film in question, “Knight of Cups,” follows a man reflecting on a series of relationships with beautiful women.

Read the full article, with more on the filming of this scene – but nothing about Isabel – here.

Izzy was once again snapped on the set of Knight Of Cups earlier this week, this time filming a scene at a window. Wes Bentley, Christian Bale and director Terrence Malick were also photographed at the window working on the scene, although not with Isabel.

Pictures have been added to our Gallery…

I’m very happy to have found lots more HQ photos from yesterday’s filming of Knight Of Cups for you! Most of the photos I added yesterday have also been replaced with HQ. These additional photos give us a better look at how much fun Izzy seemed to be having splashing around in the water, and we also see more of her and Christian Bale, as well as Wes Bentley joining them. I just love all these photos of her with a big smile on her face, she looks so pretty!

EDIT: The woman Isabel is playing around with in the sea is in fact fellow Aussie actress Teresa Palmer!

Izzy is still working on Knight Of Cups in Los Angeles, and was today snapped filming another scene in/around the city. When I first saw these photos I couldn’t help but be reminded of Isabel as Tasha in Home & Away – she looks so much like her again here, with the blonde hair, cute little smile and hippy style clothes … not to mention the beach. And she looks fantastic! It seems like she is having a great time, and I particularly love this photo with Christian Bale. Have a peek at the pics in our Gallery, lovely Isabel fans …

Isabel fans, I am so excited about this new news/update! Isabel was spotted on the set of Knight Of Cups in Los Angeles yesterday, filming scenes alongside Christian Bale! She looked surprisingly relaxed alongside such a big star, and the two even looked to sharing a laugh together at one point. Isabel looked like she might even be wearing something from her own wardrobe, in a pink dress with a belt, and green espadrilles.

In other Knight Of Cups news, Freida Pinto was photographed filming scenes for the film with it’s leading man earlier in the week, so it seems she has quietly joined the cast.

Check out photos from Izzy’s first (photographed) day on set yesterday in our Gallery, thanks to my lovely friend Lindsey. I am extremely excited about this film, and so happy for Isabel getting to work on such a big production – how about you?

Isabel’s new movie Knight Of Cups has now started filming! Christian Bale and Natalie Portman were photographed filming a scene on a beach in Malibu on May 31st (Thursday). You can see photos and brief write-ups about the film here, here and here.

Unfortunately there is no sign of Isabel yet, but I will of course be on the lookout for photos of her set – hopefully she will turn up soon! I can’t wait to see her filming for it.

Knight Of Cups is directed by Terrence Malick, and while plot details are typically kept very secret by him, this film is said to be about “one man’s search for love and truth”. Malick is filming this movie straight after Lawless, which is said to be a ‘follow up’ to Knight Of Cups and will also co-star Bale, Portman and Blanchett alongside Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara (but not Isabel!).

Cairns’ Isabel Lucas takes place among stars

IF Isabel Lucas is judged by the company she keeps, the former Cairns schoolgirl will soon be a Hollywood heavyweight.

Lucas has been cast alongside Oscar-winners Natalie Portman, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett in Knight of Cups, the plot of which is secretive even to the actors.

The 27-year-old is in Europe at the moment but will return to the US before the end of June when filming begins.

Her father Andrew Lucas said the opportunity to work under the guidance of revered director Terrence Malick proved the main lure for his daughter.

“Of course Isabel’s excited about working with those three (Portman, Bale and Blanchett) but he’s the big attraction,” Mr Lucas said.

Lucas has not seen the script and Malick, who directed the The Thin Red Line in 1998, has kept a tight lid on the film’s plot.

Movie website IMDb states Knight of Cups is about “A man… in search of love and truth”.

“It’s long been kept under wraps,” Mr Lucas said.

“The plot of the story hasn’t even been explained to the
participants.
