UPDATE: Skeptical readers saw a few fishy things about this story that I failed to notice before dawn. (A) How the heck could Ben Whishaw and Daniel Day-Lewis be up for the same role? (B) How the fuckity-fuck can a novel called “The Invisible Woman” be transformed into a movie called “Out the Window”?
NEW THEORY: Maybe there’s adaptation of The Invisible Woman in the works starring Danial Day-Lewis. I hope so. Sounds like a good fit. But if there is, it has nada to do with Iannucci’s next project, Out the Window.
Guardian UK says Daniel Day-Lewis is considering the role of Charles Dickens in a biopic directed by Armando Iannucci (In the Loop).
The film, called The Invisible Woman and based on Claire Tomalin’s biography, shows a passionate secret love between Dickens and a young actress called Nelly Ternan, conducted while Victorian England’s most popular author espoused family values in his bestsellers.
Ben Whishaw is also said to be in the running.
An actor whose on-screen intensity is rivaled only by his off-screen intensity, Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most acclaimed and private performers of his generation. Daniel Interview WATCH ! on youtube http://adf.ly/3yn6Y
