Riley Keough, perhaps better known as Lisa Marie Presley's daughter and the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, has been tapped to co-star alongside Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road (aka Mad Max 4).
The actress is still "in talks" for the role; Keough would play one of the "Five Wives", a group of women that Mad Max (Hardy, Inception) is protecting. Teresa Palmer, Adelaide Clemens and Zoe Kravitz play three of the other wives. (Kravitz herself is the daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz.)
Keough, primarily a model for most of her early career, has been turning toward acting of late, most recently starring in The Runaways with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning; she'll next be seen in Jack and Diane, in which she co-stars alongside Juno Temple and pop star Kylie Minogue.
George Miller is prepping Mad Max: Fury Road for an early 2011 production start. The film will be shot in 3D in Australia, where Miller is working on Happy Feet 2 (yes, the man is diverse).
