This could be interesting, so pay good attention folks! Ben Kingsley, Julian Sands, Jena Malone and Michele Martin are all set to star in the upcoming Charles Huddleston‘s project titled A Doll's House.
If this sounds familiar – then it should be, because we're talking about an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play of the same name.
Of course, you should consider this to be a modern day version of Ibsen's play.
So, A Doll's House centers on a young woman's marriage to an overbearing husband, set during today's recession.
Director Huddleston co-wrote the script with Michele Martin and according to his interview with Variety, he will modernize the play without removing any of its relevancy. Here's what he had to say about the whole thing:
“Ibsen's tale of a family unraveling in the face of the debt crisis is as relevant now as it was a 130 years ago. By bringing it into today's world I'm going to heighten the characters' emotional turmoil and send them on a frightening journey where their deceptions and financial decisions threaten not only their social standing but their lives.”
As for the above mentioned cast, we have Michele Martin on board to play Nora Helmer, a young wife trying to escape from her overbearing husband, in the midst of today's economic recession.
The rest of the cast includes Ben Kingsley who's set to play Dr. Rank, a family friend of the Helmers, Jena Malone who's set to play Christine Linde, one of Nora's close friends and Julian Sands as Nathan Gynt, a professional in the seedy world of lending desperate people money.
Principal photography is slated to begin in January in Cincinnati.
