Radiant Films International has acquired “Madame Bovary,” the period drama starring Mia Wasikowska and Paul Giamatti.
Rose Barrenche adapted the Gustave Flaubert classic for this latest cinematic rendition, which Sophie Barthes is directing.
Ezra Miller from “We Need to Talk About Kevin” has joined the cast as well. He will play Leon, Emma’s love interest.
