Coming off her well-deserved Oscar nomination for 45 Years, Charlotte Rampling has found a new project. Screen Daily reports that she’ll be leading an adaptation of Jane Austen‘s Sanditon, the first time it will come to the screen. Directed by Jim O’Hanlon and scripted by Simon Reade, it follows a summer at a sea bathing resort in which society can be seen at play. Production is set to kick off this summer for a likely 2017.
We’ve been patiently waiting for Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz, Macbeth) to follow up his impressive directorial debut Tyrannosaur with another feature and now it looks like he’s finally settled on one. THR reports he’ll direct and write Journeyman, a boxing drama starring himself as a world middleweight boxing champion who takes on one last fight and succumbs to a coma, but is then awakened and must deal with the repercussions. Also starring Jodie Whittaker, Faraz Ayub, Tony Pitts, and Paul Popplewell, production kicks off early next month.
After making a splash at Sundance with the wild/strange Swiss Army Man, Daniel Radcliffe has now lined up a new project. THR reports he’ll lead Jungle, which depicts “a young adventurer who heads into the Amazon in what turns out to be a dangerous and deadly expedition.” Directed by Greg Mclean (Wolf Creek), it depicts Yossi Ghinsberg‘s memoir and is set to begin shooting in late 2016 in Australia and beyond.
Which of the above projects are you most looking forward to?
