Lifetime is officially moving forward on its movie adaptation of the dark V.C. Andrews novel, “Flowers in the Attic,” TheWrap has learned.
Heather Graham (“Boogie Nights,” “Drugstore Cowboy”) is set to play Corrine, the mother who abandons her four young children, leaving them with their truly messed up grandmother, Olivia, who, wait for it, will be played by Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy winner Ellen Burstyn (“Political Animals,” “Requiem for a Dream”).
Kayla Alpert (“Up All Night”) will write the film, which will be directed by Deborah Chow (“The High Cost of Living”).
