Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie'

Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.。《口红王子》是腾讯视频自制的定位为国内首档以男性视角关注女性美的时尚综艺节目。每期邀请拥有不同生活方式和审美特点的女嘉宾,与何炅带领的五位性格迥然的男性,以离女性最近、男性最远的化妆台为切口,通过访谈交流和现场互动,引发嘉宾们对于当下年轻人生活方式的讨论和新时代年轻人对美的认知与追求的表达。第二季节目更有美好“颜”究员薇娅加入,代表广大女性发声。节目借由男生为女生化妆的独特方式,将男女距离进一步拉近,透过“妆容打造”来打破男性和女性彼此之间的刻板印象,传递“想把美好给你,发现美好是你”的核心表达。。
