Binoche and Robin Wright Penn.
Ed Westwick currently stars as Chuck Bass, an overly
confident and sexy bad boy, in The CW's new drama

attend an elite private school in New York City.

supernatural thriller written by directed by Eric Red.
Starring alongside Famke Janssen and Bobby Cannavale,
Westwick plays Joey, a handsome Brooklyn delivery boy
who delivers groceries to Janssen's character, who is
under house arrest. It is not long before they begin a
heated affair. He will also be seen in "Son of Rambow,"
an independent film directed by Garth Jennings. Westwick
plays Lawrence, a bully and surrogate father figure to
his devoted younger brother. "Son of Rambow," which
premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, caused

Vantage for the highest amount at the festival.

"
The whole buzz of the city turns me on. I’m a
nighttime kind of guy, so I love going out.
I always sense potential in the
night—especially during the summer. When the
sun’s out the girls put on nice dresses.
It’s like London in the summertime: There’s
all this energy that’s been laying under the
earth for eight months of the year that’s
just been bubbling and cooking until finally
it comes out with the sun
