- PIE SOCIETY
Since deciding not to return for superhero
sequel Thor 2 (Whipping away our tears),
Kenneth Branagh has been mulling over at least two potential projects – novel
adaptation The Guernsey Literary And
Potato Peel, Pie Society, and romantic drama Italian Shoes.
It looks
like he has made up his mind, as we chose Pie Society and he managed to persuade
Kate Winslet to join him.
Adapted by The Opposite Of Sex writer/director
Don Roos from Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer’s book, the film will find
Winslet as writer Juliet Ashton, who penned magazine columns during World War
II. In the aftermath of the conflict, she’s contacted by Channel Islander
Dawsey Adams, who tells her the intriguing tale of the book society formed to
help undercut the Nazi presence on Guernsey. Ashton decides to investigate, and
romance blossoms…
Branagh is
in pre-production now and aims to kick off shooting in March.
Winslet, who
was last seen in Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion
and will next hit the screen in Roman Polanski’s Carnage (due February 3), is also going to be doing the rounds to
promote the 3D re-release of Titanic,
which releases later this year.
