Summary
- Renée Zellweger to play faded TV actress in new film.
- Story involves a billionaire living in a 1923 fantasy.
- Production set for spring next year in the UK.
Renée Zellweger will star as a faded TV actress in Sacha Gervasi's upcoming comedy-drama, "Darlington." The film is slated for a spring production in the UK.
Zellweger plays Kate Spencer, an actress offered a unique chance to reprise her most famous role. This opportunity arises not from a show revival, but within the meticulously restored English country estate of a reclusive tech billionaire, played by Dominic Sessa.
The billionaire has recreated the estate to authentically reflect 1923, living in this self-imposed fantasy. As Kate immerses herself in this controlled environment, she begins to question the blurred lines between illusion and reality.
The production is a joint effort by Rocket Science, Monumental Pictures, and Portobello Electric. Alexander Payne is attached as an executive producer.
