Actress Angelina Jolie and director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler) are in discussions to bring Serena: A Novel to the big screen. They want to adapt the 2008 novel by Ron Rash. The screenplay is written by Chris Kyle (The Weight of Water), and Nick Wechsler (Requiem for a Dream, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Road) is producing.
Serena is a period piece, set in North Carolina in 1929. Jolie would play Serena, the ambitious wife of businessman George Pemberton. When she discovers she cannot bear a child of her own, she sets out to destroy George's illegitimate son.
The flim is already being compared to There Will Be Blood, and the character a modern Lady Macbeth. We think Angeline Jolie will be a great fit in this cunning and ruthless role.
