Uma Thurman, Anthony Hopkins and Phoebe Dynevor to Star in Richard Eyre’s Forbidden Romance ‘The Housekeeper’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Uma Thurman, Anthony Hopkins and Phoebe Dynevor will lead Richard Eyre's 'The Housekeeper,' which fictionalizes the inspiration behind 'Rebecca.'

“Notes on a Scandal” and “Iris” director Richard Eyre has assembled a starry cast for his next feature, an evocative romance fictionalizing the inspiration behind Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca.” “Rose Tremain’s story grapples with love, fear, fiction, desire, ambition, death and legacy — perhaps epic, whilst providing us with the delicacy of most complex, nuanced characters and unexpected shifts in audience sympathy,” Eyre said in a statement. Beyond the magnetism of its romance, ‘The Housekeeper’ brims with inventive twists and turns of desire and deceit, and mirrors today’s challenge to find purpose and identity.”
