Evan Rachel Wood Talks "The Ides Of March"

Evan Rachel Wood spilled some tidbits about her upcoming movie "The Ides Of March" at the HBO Winter 2011 TCA Panel, in which George Clooney will 'act' as the director, screen writer, as well as one of the leading actors.

Evan said that she's going to start filming in February, and it is mainly about politics and democratic primaries. "More the politics of politics. Behind the scenes of the press secretary and what goes on in that world. I play an intern,".

She also said that her intern character could have relations with someone 'higher up' like Monica Lewinsky. "Could be. But I wouldn't necessarily say Monica Lewinsky. But she does get a bit in trouble,".

"The Ides Of March" is due to be released December 2011 based on a play by Beau Willmon. The story tells about 'an idealistic staffer for a newbie presidential candidate gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.'

Besides Evan and George, it has been confirmed that Ryan Gosling, Phillip Seymour-Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, and the newcomer Max Minghella (who played Divya Narendra in "The Social Network") will also star.
