In “Wild,” directed by “Dallas Buyers Club” helmer Jean-Marc Vallée, Witherspoon plays Strayed, with Laura Dern playing Strayed’s influential mother. Along with Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” she used the two novels as the basis for films that would be the start of her own production company, Pacific Standard. Witherspoon had found herself disappointed that so many studios weren’t developing any films with women as the central character.
