Gillian Anderson is slated to read the role of E. Edward Grey, originally played by James Spader. Hannah Einbinder will take on the part of Lee Holloway, previously portrayed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Schoenbrun herself will read action descriptions.
'Secretary' has achieved cult classic status for its humanizing portrayal of BDSM. Penned by Erin Cressida Wilson, it follows a dominant lawyer and his submissive assistant. Film Independent's director of programming, Rachel Bleemer, noted the film's enduring power to spark conversation.
