Eva Green to Star in ‘Womb’

Eva Green has signed on to star in ‘Womb’, a futuristic drama from Hungarian director Benedek Fliegauf.   This will be Fliegauf’s first English-language film.

Produced by Roman Paul and Gerhard Meixner of Berlin-based Razor Film (“Waltz With Bashir†) and Andras Muhi of Inforg Studio Budapest, pic tells the story of a grieving widow, played by Green, who decides to clone her late husband. Matt Smith (who has been tapped to replace David Tennant in the BBC’s “Dr. Who†) co-stars.

“‘Womb’ is one of the most touching and impressive love stories we have read in recent times,† said Michael Weber, managing director of the Match Factory, which is handling international sales on the pic.

It’s nice to see Ms. Green breaking out into starring roles.   She was amazing in ‘Casino Royale’, and, if she keeps up a steady stream of leading roles, she could easily become an actress on par with Angelina Jolie before too long.
