Rooney Mara is set to star in and produce a biopic about one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars, Audrey Hepburn, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name”) will direct the film that has landed at Apple Studios to produce. Mara is also meant to produce the film that will be written by Michael Mitnick (“Vinyl”).
Hepburn is best known as the star of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” as well as other classics such as “Sabrina,” “The Nun’s Story,” “Wait Until Dark” and her Oscar-winning role in “Roman Holiday.” Though it’s unclear which portion of Hepburn’s life the film will focus on, which extended far beyond acting into work in fashion and charity.
Mara most recently starred in Guillermo Del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” and is twice Oscar-nominated for her work in “Carol” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” The Audrey Hepburn biopic will also be her third producing credit, having previously produced 2013’s “The Truth About Emanuel” and the documentary “The End of Medicine.” Guadagnino’s last feature was 2018’s “Suspiria” and he’s at work on “Bones and All” with Mark Rylance and Timothee Chalamet.
