This only adds to the "Alice in Wonderland" star's already impressive upcoming slate, which includes Chan-wook Park's "Stoker," John Hillcoat's "Lawless" (previously titled "The Wettest County") and Richard Ayoade's "The Double," co-starring Jesse Eisenberg.
Studio classic literary remakes have been de rigeur as of late. Likely Oscar contender Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina"(November 12), starring Keira Knightley in the title role, is now in post-production. Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables" -- starring just about every actor who can carry a tune, including Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Helena Bonham Carter, Russell Crowe and Sascha Baron Cohen -- is currently filming.
Occupant Entertainment's official statement on "Madame Bovary":
While the adaptation is a period piece that is faithful to Gustave Flaubert's original story, it is a fresh retelling of the classic novel, emphasizing the more youthful and contemporary themes.
Watch TOH's interview with Wasikowska here, where she discusses her 2011 roles in "Jane Eyre" and "Albert Nobbs."
