‘The Laureate’
Hayley is linked to a new project with actor Dominic Cooper (co-star in The Duchess) which is being introduced to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival.
William Nunez wrote and will direct the drama, set in the 1920s about a love triangle between the young British war poet Robert Graves, his wife Nancy and the passionate young American writer Laura Riding.
Production is set to begin in autumn in the UK and Ireland on the story, set in Britain’s Roaring ‘20s as Graves encounters a beautiful young American writer studying at Oxford. Defying societal convention, the woman moves in with Graves and his wife, leading to tension and Graves’ implication in attempted murder.
Although it seems Hayley may be playing ‘the other woman’ again, if done right it sounds like an interesting plot line – if a bit overused of late. But I shouldn’t judge it by a few lines.
