First Look At Mia Wasikowska From MADAME BOVARY

Here’s a first look of Mia Wasikowska in MADAME BOVARY, directed by Sophie Barthes (COLD SOULS) from a screenplay by Rose Barrenche & Sophie Barthes, who adapted Gustave Flaubert’s classic novel Madame Bovary.

The passionate drama tells the tragic story of Emma (Wasikowska), a young beauty who impulsively marries a small-town doctor to leave her father’s pig farm behind.  But after being introduced to the glamorous world of high society, she soon becomes bored with her stodgy mate and seeks excitement and status outside the bonds of marriage.

The cast includes Mia Wasikowska (ALICE IN WONDERLAND, JANE EYRE), Ezra Miller (THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN), Academy-Award nominee Paul Giamatti (CINDERELLA MAN, SIDEWAYS), Rhys Ifans (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) Henry Lloyd-Hughes (HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, ANNA KARENINA), Logan Marshall-Green (PROMETHEUS), Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Winner and Cesar Award nominee Olivier Gourmet (THE SON) and Laura Carmichael (“Downton Abbey”).

Produced by Joe Neurauter & Felipe Marino (BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY, THE WACKNESS), the film will be distributed in Eastern Europe and Vietnam in late 2014.

The production crew includes director of photography Andrij Parekh (BLUE VALENTINE), production designer Benoît Barouh (RENOIR), four-time Cesar-award winning costume designer Christian Gasc and Valerie Ranchoux (FAREWELL, MY QUEEN), editor Mikkel Nielsen (A ROYAL AFFAIR) and composer Evgueni Galperine (THE PAST, Luc Besson’s THE FAMILY).
