"The Lowdown on The Nightingale: Release Date, Cast Lineup, Storyline, and Essential Info"
In the world of cinema, highly acclaimed novels often find their way onto the big screen, and the upcoming movie adaptation of Kristin Hannah's bestselling novel, "The Nightingale," is no exception. This moving wartime story, set in Nazi-occupied France during World War Two, will hit cinemas exclusively in the US and UK from February 12, 2027.
The movie, directed by Melanie Laurent, boasts an impressive cast, with the real-life sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning taking on the roles of the fictional sisters, Vianne Mauriac and Isabelle Rossignol. Vianne, portrayed by Dakota, is a school teacher and mother to an eight-year-old daughter, whose husband is taken prisoner by the German army or possibly dead. On the other hand, Elle's character, Isabelle, joins the French resistance and runs errands for them, a risky move that could lead to her execution if caught.
The acquisition of the rights to the book "The Nightingale" by TriStar Pictures occurred back in March 2015. Dana Stevens is the screenwriter adapting the novel, while Elizabeth Cantillon remains on the production team. The production of The Nightingale took a long time, with Elizabeth Cantillon and Michelle MacLaren initially hired to direct but both dropping out. Melanie Laurent signed on as director in December 2019, having previously starred in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
Although the adaptation aims to stay true to the novel's core narrative about the French Resistance and the sisters' experiences, there may be some modifications typical of film adaptations. However, detailed comparisons of plot or character changes have not been published yet.
This is not the first time Dakota Fanning has graced the silver screen. She has previously starred in movies like I Am Sam (2001), War Of The Worlds (2005), The Secret Life Of Bees (2008), and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019). Elle, too, has an impressive resume, with roles in historical TV series like The Great and movies such as Reservation Road, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Daddy Day Care.
As of the current information, the other cast members for The Nightingale have not been announced. No trailer for The Nightingale has been released yet. Another of Kristin Hannah's novels, The Women, is being turned into a movie soon.
