Bryce Dallas Howard in “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond”

I’m slowly but surely becoming a big fan of Opie’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, who will be playing Gwen Stacy in the upcoming “Spider-Man 3″ movie. After that, she’ll be doing the big screen movie adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond”, replacing (if you can believe it) Lindsay “Party All Night Long in a Bikini” Lohan, who one supposes is too busy in rehab to do the movie. The gorgeous redhead (who has decided to go blond on us lately) will be joined by Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and David Strathairn.

Via Production Weekly: In this original, previously undiscovered screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, a rebellious socialite, Fisher Willow (Howard), is caught up in a world of social conventions, glittering society balls, and her father’s greed that she desperately wants to escape. Her love for Jimmy (Evans), a handsome farm hand may be her only way out. Burstyn would play Fisher’s mother and Strathairn would play Jimmy’s alcoholic father.
