Movie News Michelle Williams to Headline Suite Francaise ADD COMMENTS

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.

Movie News Wolfe to Direct Hilary Swank in You're Not You ADD COMMENTS

George C. Wolfe will direct Hilary Swank in You're Not You, reports Variety. The film will be based on on the first novel by Michelle Wildgen which is described as follows:

Bec is adrift. It's the summer before her junior year in college. She's sleeping with a married professor, losing interest in her classes, and equivocating about her career. She takes a job caring for Kate, a thirty-six-year-old woman who has been immobilized by ALS.

As it turns out, before the disease Kate was a stylish and commanding woman, an advertising executive and an accomplished chef. Now, as she and Bec spend long days together, Bec begins to absorb Kate's sophistication and her sensuality, cooking for her, sharing her secrets, and gradually beginning to live her own life with a boldness informed by Kate's influence. The more intense her commitment to Kate, the further Bec strays from the complacency of her college life. And when Kate's marriage veers into dangerous territory, Bec will have to choose between the values of her old life and the allure of an entirely new one.

Swank is producing through her 2S banner with co-founder Molly Smith along with Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan. Filming is expected to start in Los Angeles in November.
