Summary
- Carey Mulligan joins Billie Eilish in Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar' film.
- This marks Eilish's feature film acting debut.
- Sarah Polley directs the adaptation of the 1963 novel.
Carey Mulligan is set to star alongside Billie Eilish in the forthcoming film adaptation of Sylvia Plath's celebrated novel, "The Bell Jar." Mulligan will take on the role of Mrs. Greenwood, the mother of Esther Greenwood, the character portrayed by Eilish. This film marks a significant milestone as it represents the feature acting debut for the global music sensation.
Helmed by director Sarah Polley, known for her work on "Women Talking," the project will bring Plath's semi-autobiographical story to the screen. Published in 1963, "The Bell Jar" chronicles a college student's experiences and mental health struggles while interning at a magazine. A previous film adaptation released in 1979 received critical and audience disappointment.
