Alex Ritman “Notes on a Scandal” and “Iris” director Richard Eyre has assembled a starry cast for his next feature, an evocative romance fictionalizing the inspiration behind Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca.” “The Housekeeper” — being launched at AFM by Embankment Films alongside CAA Media Finance, which is co-repping U.S.
rights — will be led by Oscar nominee Uma Thurman (“Oh Canada,” “Pulp Fiction”), two-time Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins “(The Father,” “The Silence of the Lambs”) and Phoebe Dynevor (“Bridgerton,” “Fair Play”).
Eyre will direct from a script written by bestselling author Rose Tremain, based on her own short story and forthcoming novel.
The film is being produced by Julia Taylor-Stanley and Kevin Loader. “The Housekeeper” is set in the mystic, brooding and wild landscape of Cornwall, the rugged Atlantic foot of England, where Danni (Thurman), housekeeper at Manderville Hall — a grand and historic house owned by the wealthy and widowed Lord DeWithers (Hopkins) — falls prey to the glance of a young and beautiful visitor, the novelist Daphne Du Maurier (Dynevor).
