LOS ANGELES, April 2 — Max Irons (“Woman In Gold”) and Holliday Grainger (“Cinderella”) have been cast in the film adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Sanditon”, reports Screen Daily.
Irons and Grainger will be joining Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years”) in the upcoming film to be directed by Jim O’Hanlon (“A Hundred Streets”). Filming is expected to begin in June in the UK.
Jane Austen’s “Sandiion” follows the story of Charlotte Heywood (played by Grainger) who is invited by entrepreneur Tom Parker to spend the summer at the Sanditon seaside resort. She takes up the offer, curious to see the workings of high society.
This is the first time that Jane Austen’s final and unfinished novel “Sanditon” has ever been made into a film. — AFP Relaxnews
