Actress
Kate Beckinsale has been cast for the lead role in writer and director Michael
Winterbottom's (24 Hour Party People) upcoming feature film, The Face of Angel.
Per
Deadline Beckinsale will join Daniel Bruhl (The Fifth Estate) and Cara
Delevingne (Anna Karenina) in the adaptation of author Barbie Latza Nadeau's
Angel Face.
Published
in 2010, the true crime book is officially described as:
"Despite
all the airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it’s still hard to reconcile the
fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious killer
convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British roommate. Few Americans
have heard all of the powerful evidence that convinced a jury that Knox was one
of three people to sexually assault Meredith Kercher, brutalize her body, and
cut her throat. In Angel Face, Rome-based Daily Beast senior writer Barbie
Latza Nadeau – who cultivated personal relationships with the key figures in
both the prosecution and the defense – describes how the Knox family’s heavy-handed
efforts to control media coverage distorted the facts, inflamed an American
audience, and painted an offensive, inaccurate picture of Italy’s justice
system. An eye-opener for any parent considering sending a child away to study,
Angel Face reveals what really went on in this incomprehensible crime."
