劇情介紹
John Ruskin是英國維多利亞時(shí)代的藝術(shù)家、詩人、建筑師、思想家，還扶持培養(yǎng)了一批年輕藝術(shù)家，不過成為社會新聞的卻是他與Effie Gray的婚姻，兩人結(jié)婚6年之后Effie要求中止婚姻，理由是兩人“從未真正成為夫妻”，這樁官司成為一時(shí)談資。John Ruskin承認(rèn)兩人從沒上過床，但為自己辯護(hù)說妻子的“某種狀況”破壞了他的激情。Effie Gray離婚后，嫁給了受John Ruskin重視提拔的畫家John Everett Millais。據(jù)艾瑪·湯普森說，這部新片將從兩人的新婚之夜開始，通過John Ruskin的經(jīng)歷和性格來解開這個(gè)謎團(tuán)。 2011.08.17.達(dá)科塔取代西爾莎成為《Effie》女主角. Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie' August 16 Source: Deadline Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art. Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.詳情
