Eva Green, Gemma Arterton to Star in Virginia Woolf Love Story

Eva Green and Gemma Arterton will star in drama Vita & Virginia, based on the true story of the love affair and friendship between literary icon Virginia Woolf and author Vita Sackville-West.

The film will be directed by British helmer Chanya Button (Burn, Burn, Burn) from a script by Eileen Atkins based on her own play of the same name, which debuted in 1992.

Virginia Stephen married Leonard Woolf in 1912, and then met socialite and author Vita Sackville-West, wife of Harold Nicolson, in 1922. They began a sexual relationship that lasted nearly a decade, as shown in their various letters and diary entries. After their affair ended, they remained friends until Woolf’s death in 1941. Green will play Woolf while Arterton will play Sackville-West.

5 reasons to love Xavier Dolan:

1-He’s only 25 but he already wrote and directed 5 movies, the first one when he was 19 years old. 2- He’s the producer, director and writer of all of his movies. And actor in some of them too. He’s also the guy who buys donuts. 3- Just look at him. He’s like the canadian god of flawless. 4- His movies are so so so good. Four of his films got into cannes, each one awarded a prize. The first one, J'ai Tué ma Mère (I Killed my Mother) received an eight-minute standing ovation. 5- He’s the voice of Jacob Black in the french version of Twilight and the voice of Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter one.

Extra: He actually wrote this letter to Leonardo DiCaprio when he was 8.
