Noyce crowned for ‘Mary’
Director to guide Johansson in period drama
By MICHAEL FLEMING
Phillip Noyce is set to direct and Scarlett Johansson to star in “Mary Queen of Scots,” putting the costumer on course to start production in April.
Drama is a biography of the woman who became Scotland’s queen at 9 months in 1542 and, later, a rival to the English throne. Mary, a Roman Catholic, was imprisoned for many years on charges of plotting to murder Elizabeth I, a Protestant. Elizabeth eventually had her beheaded in 1587.
James McGovern (“Crackers”) wrote the script, and Melanie Johansson and Alexandra Milchan will produce. The film will be financed by Capitol Films and Relativity.
It will shoot in London and Scotland.
I’m sorry, doesn’t Kiera
I’m sorry, doesn’t Kiera Knightly have first option on all period pieces?
Good call.
…and James McAvoy.
Why, Scarlett, why?
Why, Scarlett, oh why did you sell out to commercial America and lose your indie roots? I am so mad at you.
