GRACE
OF MONACO
is set to have a December 27th limited release based on the model the company
used for the Academy Award® winning IRON LADY.
Commenting on the deal,
Dahan
said: "It has been a wonderful experience to be working with Nicole, Tim, Frank,
and the whole group. I am very happy now to share the experience with Monsieur
Weinstein and the whole team at TWC. This is exciting."
“More than thirty years
after her death, Grace Kelly’s story continues to be one of insurmountable
allure and we are so happy Olivier Dahan has brought it new life,” commented TWC
Co-Chairman Harvey
Weinstein. “As always, Nicole Kidman’s commanding performance is the
perfect portrait of a woman who was not only royalty, but who also remains a
legend of the silver screen and fashion icon.”
GRACE
OF MONACO
stars Academy Award® winner Nicole
Kidman (RABBIT HOLE, THE HOURS, MOULIN ROUGE!) in the lead role as Grace
Kelly and Tim
Roth (ARBITRAGE, PULP FICTION, RESEVOIR DOGS) as her husband, Prince
Rainier III. The film also features Frank
Langella, Paz
Vega, Parker
Posey, Milo
Ventimiglia, and Derek
Jacobi in supporting roles.
The movie tells the
story of efforts by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (the former Grace Kelly,
played by Nicole Kidman) to make peace between her adopted country and France.
Grace, just 33 years old, and having just given up an acting career to become
Monaco’s First Lady, maneuvered through a political minefield to resolve the
situation, as detailed in the film.
The project is the
latest movie by YRF Entertainment, a Beverly Hills-based production and
financing company that is a subsidiary of Indian studio Yash Raj Films, to
develop, finance, and produce English language films for the U.S. and global
market.
The deal was negotiated
in Los Angeles by David
Glasser and Michal
Steinberg for The
Weinstein Company with CAA
and Le
Pogam on behalf of the filmmakers.
