Carice w/ Leo and Law

By Dave Davis

Posted 19 years ago

Delicious Dutch treat Carice van Houten is apparently determined to stay strictly with the A-list when it comes to playing movie wives.

The beauteous BLACK BOOK blond/brunette is currently pretending to be Tom Cruise’s spouse (a role usually portrayed by Katie Holmes) for Bryan Singer’s WWII thriller VALKYRIE, which now seems to be called RUBICON. She must have developed a taste for high-paid superstar — she’ll reportedly jilt Tom’s German conspirator for Leonardo DiCaprio in Ridley Scott’s CIA vs. terrorists thriller BODY OF LIES.

And after that, the smoldering lovely will draw the envy of many ladies (and a few dudes) as the significant other of Jude Law in the sci-fi film REPOSSESSION MAMBO, set in a future where lapsed payment on organ transplants can result in their forcible extraction. That’s a pretty busy schedule after baring her soul (and more) for Paul Verhoeven.
