Uma Thurman, Phoebe Dynevor and Anthony Hopkins Set to Star in Period Drama Feature THE HOUSEKEEPER

Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) and Anthony Hopkins (The Father) have been cast in the period drama, The Housekeeper. Set in 1930s Cornwall, UK, the film will chart the forbidden romance between a Polish housekeeper and a famous novelist.

Notes On A Scandal and Iris filmmaker Richard Eyre is directing with Julia Taylor-Stanley (Coriolanus) and Kevin Loader (The Death Of Stalin) producing from a script by British novelist Rose Tremain.

The story is inspired by Tremain’s short story in which a young woman is horrified to discover, after a brief sexual encounter with Daphne du Maurier, that she is the model for Mrs. Danvers in the writer’s classic work Rebecca.

Dynevor will play Du Maurier, Thurman the housekeeper, and Hopkins the wealthy and widowed Lord DeWithers.

Embankment Films is launching sales ahead of the upcoming American Film Market in Las Vegas. Filming is being eyed for early 2025.
