Olivia Wilde Joins Alex Kurtzman's Welcome to People
Mon, January 3, 2011 
When you walk away with dignity intact from a crap like Tron: Legacy, you must be OK. And it isn't just because she has a pretty face. No, Olivia Wilde was the only actor to muster up a good performance in the awfully-unnecessary (key words: awful and unnecessary) Tron sequel. Bridges was...Bridges, and Hedlund was "Eh" although not an acting vacuum like some argued.
2011 should open the doors further out for the House, M.D. alum. Everyone knows she's got Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens (It's going to be a surprise hit, I tells ya) and The Change-Up. But the big one for me is Andrew Niccol's Now, one of the few 2011 flicks I'm anticipating.
Risky Business says she's been added to the roster for Alex Kurtzman's directorial debut, Welcome to People. The films centers on a guy (Chris Pine) who has to deliver $150,000 from his dead father's estate to an older sister (Elizabeth Banks) and nephew he never knew existed. Wilde will play Pine's girlfriend.
Filming is expected to start up later this month in Los Angeles.
