Carey Mulligan: 'Nancy & Danny' Star?

Carey Mulligan shops with a friend at Barneys New York on Sunday (August 19) at The Grove in Hollywood.

The 27-year-old actress is in negotiations to star in an upcoming thriller, Nancy and Danny, according to THR.

The film is “set in a small town and concerns a money-hungry woman (Mulligan) whose big-city dreams failed. In order to land a high school crush, she uses a hapless man as a pawn in a get-rich-quick scheme that quickly goes wrong.”

James Marsh, who directed the documentary Man on a Wire, is attached to direct.

FYI: Carey is wearing Prada Square Baroque sunglasses.
