McDormand Taps a Pair of Pics
Two new films for Francis
Frances McDormand has found herself two new roles over at Focus Features. The first finds her playing the title character in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, an adaptation of the Winifred Watson period comic novel that will shoot in London in April with Bharat Nalluri directing. McDormand will play a governess in the 1800s who gets a taste of glamour when she goes to work in the home of a nightclub songstress. One of Pettigrew’s chores is to sort out the entertainer’s unrespectable affairs.
After that she will move to Burn After Reading opposite George Clooney, a dark comedy about the CIA that will be directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen.
McDormand’s last film was Friends with Money in 2006.
