September 18, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Eva Green (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children) and Emmanuelle Seigner (Venus in Fur) have signed on to appear in Roman Polanski’s new film Based on a True Story, which Polanski is co-writing with Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper).

Based on Delphine de Vigan’s 2015 novel, Based on a True Story follows a writer (Seigner) whose life and mind are endangered by an obsessive woman (Green). It will mark Polanski’s first film since 2014’s Venus in Fur, and also his fifth collaboration with Seigner, who has also appeared in Frantic, Bitter Moon and The Ninth Gate.

Filming on Based on a True Story is set to get underway in Paris in November.
