Fox Searchlight announced on Monday that principal photography is underway on director Thomas Vinterberg‘s adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd, starring Carey Mulligan, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Sheen, Tom Sturridge and Juno Temple. The script was written by David Nicholls, author and screenwriter of One Day and Starter for Ten.
Based on the literary classic, Far From the Madding Crowd is the story of beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching willfulness; Frank Troy (Sturridge), a handsome and reckless military man; and William Boldwood (Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor. “I’m excited to be working with Fox Searchlight and this talented cast and crew,” says Vinterberg. “It’s a great privilege to bring such a wonderful piece of very English literature to the screen.”

Juno Temple Talks Afternoon Delight, Erotic Dance
She’s only just recently 24 years old, but since 2006 Juno Temple has appeared in more than two dozen films, from independent fare like Cracks, Greenberg, Dirty Girl and Killer Joe to studio offerings like The Other Boleyn Girl, Year One and The Three Musketeers. In her latest movie, writer-director Jill Soloway’s tart, Silver Lake-set dramedy Afternoon Delight, Temple plays McKenna, a stripper and sex worker who is befriended by an emotionally wayward, stay-at-home suburban mother, Rachel (Kathryn Hahn), with considerable consequences. I recently had a chance to speak to Temple one-on-one and in person, about the movie, learning erotic dance, how she feels about auditions, and her impressions of the forthcoming Maleficent. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
