BECOMES 'LOVE & FRIENDSHIP' WITH KATE BECKINSALE
Here's something for all of you Jane Austen fans (not that Dezzy will ever understand you :) - Kate Beckinsale and Stephen Fry will star in the movie adaptation LOVE & FRIENDSHIP of her novella LADY SUSAN which should start shooting this month in Ireland! According to 'Deadline' Whit Stillman is directing the movie set in the 1790s! LOVE & FRIENDSHIP centres on beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale), who has come to the estate of her in-laws to wait out colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and her rather reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica. Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga) will star as the object of Lady Susan’s affections, and Stephen Fry as Mr Johnson, long suffering husband to Lady Susan’s friend and confidante Alicia (Chloe Sevigny). The cast also includes Emma Greenwell, Morfydd Clark, Jemma Redgrave, James Fleet, Tom Bennett and Justin Edwards.
