According to Variety, Mia Wasikowska has signed up to Occupant Entertainment’s Madame Bovary!
—
Jane Eyre star Mia Wasikowska is set to topline Occupant Entertainment’s Madame Bovary, which Sophie Barthes (“Cold Souls”) will direct from an adapted screenplay by Rose Barreneche.
Wasikowska will play the lead role of Emma Bovary, the beautiful wife of a small-town doctor who she married to escape her father’s pig farm. She constantly tries to climb the social ladder by engaging in extra-marital affairs.
Barthes’ “Cold Souls” star Paul Giamatti is attached to play Monsieur Homais, the town apothecary who is a close confidant of her husband Charles and threatens to reveal the protag’s steamy indiscretions.
While the adaptation is a period piece that will remain faithful to Gustave Flaubert’s original story, it’s a fresh retelling of the classic novel, emphasizing the more youthful and contemporary themes.
