Hollywood diva Barbra Streisand begins work on an exciting new project. In December, it became known about the negotiations of the star with the bosses of one of the film studios for the filming of a picture about the Russian Empress Catherine II. Now it is reported about the search for an actress for the main role.
According to media reports, Streisand plans to shoot a film based on a script by Christina Lauren Anderson. In the center of the plot is the young Catherine, who just took the throne after the murder of her husband. She is engaged in the modernization of the country, while not forgetting about her own personal life.
It is clarified that Anderson's script was blacklisted two years ago. And one can only guess what led to the change in the point of view of the movie bosses. There is also information about the intentions of Streisand when working on the project to focus on the "sensuality" of the empress.
But the most interesting thing is that the main role is played by the actress Keira Knightley, who played Anna Karenina in the film of the same name a few years ago. The parties began negotiations, but the producers are in no hurry to speak unequivocally about the participation of the British woman in the project. The fact is that Knightley has a very busy schedule for the next six months. In particular, she will begin filming the drama Collateral Beauty this month with Will Smith.
This will be the fourth directing project in Streisand's career. Earlier, the lady presented films "Yentl" (nominated for "Oscar"), "Lord of the Tides" and "The mirror has two faces."
