Awards heavyweight Fox Searchlight purchased Martha Marcy May Marlene from this year's Sundance festival and rumor has it that its star - Lizzie Olsen is exceptional as the lead in the film. This time last year 19 year old Jennifer Lawrence made a huge splash in Winter's Bone and look where that lead...
Elizabeth (goes by Lizzie) Olsen is the younger sister of popular paparazzi twins: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
In the film Olsen plays a young girl who tries to escape an extreme religious cult. The fact that it was a hit at Sundance and that Fox Searchlight (think "Juno", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Black Swan") wanted to buy it immediately should flash the word OSCAR in your mind.
Here's an interview with the director Sean Durkin who won Best Director at the Festival. This is definitely one to watch out for.
