Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley are currently in talks to star in Chloé Zhao's next directorial project Hamnet.
The Hamnet film will be directed by Chloé Zhao from a screenplay she co-wrote with Maggie O’Farrell, based on O’Farrell’s award-winning historical fiction novel of the same name. “The novel charts the emotional, familial, and artistic consequences of that loss, bringing to life a human and heart-stopping story as the backdrop to the creation of Shakespeare’s most famous play, Hamlet.”
The film adaptation hails from Amblin Partners, Hera Pictures, Neal Street Productions, and Book of Shadows. Producers are Liza Marshall, Pippa Harris and Sam Mendes, with Nic Gonda executive producing. Amblin’s Jeb Brody and Mia Maniscalco are set to oversee the project. In addition to Nomadland, Zhao has only directed three other feature-length films, including Marvel Studios’ star-studded MCU film. Besides Hamnet, she’s also currently developing a sci-fi western take on Bram Stoker’s iconic novel Dracula.
The book synopsis reads: “Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people.
“A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down — a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists.”Maggie Dela Paz has been writing about the movie and TV industry for more than four years now.
