    AceShowbiz – “The Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss has been cast as former U.S. Congresswoman Katie Hill in a new adaptation of her memoir.
    Moss will also produce the project, based on “She Will Rise: Becoming a Warrior in the Battle for True Equality”, via her Love & Squalor Pictures company.
    The book, released over the summer, chronicles Hill’s life as an inexperienced California politician and domestic abuse victim, whose career was shattered by the release of intimate photographs and allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a campaign staff member.

    Announcing the casting news on Tuesday, October 6, Hill said, “I wrote ‘She Will Rise’ to try to take back my story from those who have exploited and twisted it. I also wanted to shine a light on the stories of women whose resilience and bravery gave me strength when I needed it most, and hopefully to provide inspiration to others.”
    “Having this larger platform to tell this story, working with… the incredible Elisabeth Moss as the lead, is more than I ever could have imagined.”
    Moss added, “I am so honoured to have the opportunity to portray Katie and to help tell her story. Her strength and work to amplify women’s voices is incredibly inspiring to me and her experiences could not be more important for us to magnify right now.”
    Jason Blum from Blumhouse added, “We pursued this project because we believe in Katie and her message of empowering women and breaking the system. And with Elisabeth and the force of what she brings on and off the camera, we hope this will be a powerful vehicle to inspire and for change.

      AceShowbiz – Elisabeth Moss is teaming up with novelist Virginia Feito to turn her upcoming psychological thriller, “Mrs. March”, into a new movie.
      Moss is developing the film via her Love and Squalor Pictures production company and she has recruited Feito to adapt her own story about a New York housewife who suspects she inspired the awful protagonist of her writer husband’s latest bestseller.
      Feito will also executive produce, alongside Moss, who will star as the titular “Mrs. March”.
      “I read Virginia’s novel in one sitting and was so captured by it I knew I had to make it and play Mrs. March,” Moss tells Deadline. “As a character, she is fascinating, complex, and deeply human and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into her. Mrs. March is exactly the kind of engaging and challenging female-led project that Love And Squalor Pictures is built to make.”
      “The Handmaid’s Tale” star will also reteam with her “The Invisible Man” producer Jason Blum and his partners at Blumhouse for the film.
      “Having worked with Jason on ‘Us’ and the company on ‘The Invisible Man’, I am constantly struck by their creativity and intelligence. Jason Blum is a powerhouse force in the world of storytelling and I am personally honored to be in the Blumhouse family.”
      “Mrs. March” will hit bookshelves in the United States in August 2021.

      “I don’t think I am in a position to officially share anything. But, yes, we are aware that people are doing reunions and we’ve never done one, which is so crazy. We really all haven’t been together in five years. So I’ll just leave you with that.”
      Elsewhere in the interview, the actress’ whose new movie “Shirley”, is out now on demand, joked that she’s happy she can provide people with an incentive to stay home during the Covid-19 lockdown.
      “It’s like, ‘Oh god, how terrible. I have to sit around and watch TV and read books for a while,’ ” she quipped. “If that’s the sacrifice we have to make in order to keep everybody safe and healthy, sign me up.”
      “I am very grateful to be safe and healthy. My family and friends are safe and healthy. And I am a true believer that if that is the case, you don’t really have a whole lot to complain about.”
