Michelle Pfeiffer looks set to re-team with her “Dangerous Liaisons” director Stephen Frears for “Cheri,” an adaptation of the 1920s novel by French author Colette about the lingering effects of a romance between a middle-aged woman and a wealthy young man.
Colette set her book in 1920s Paris, where the young son of a wealthy courtesan is educated in the ways of love by a middle-aged friend of the man’s mother. When he is forced to give up the six-year relationship after marrying someone else, the young man can’t forget her and retreats into a fantasy world.
Pfeiffer is in final negotiations.
