Michelle Williams is in talks to play the lead in the upcoming adaptation of Irene Nemirovsky's nonfiction World War II tale, Suite Fran�aise. Published in 2007, the book is officially described as follows: Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940, "Suite Fran�aise" tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control. As Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way: a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food; a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy�in their town, their homes, even in their hearts. When Ir�ne N�mirovsky began working on Suite Fran�aise, she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died. For sixty-four years, this novel remained hidden and unknown.
Saul Dibb ( The Duchess) is attached to both write and direct with Mark Cooper and David Parfitt, who previously worked with Williams on My Week with Marilyn, producing.
