According to The Playlist, “tucked inside” Florence Pugh’s Vanity Fair interview, she mentioned that she would be working on Cassandra at the Wedding, the movie adaptation of the 1962 novel by Dorothy Baker. She will also be co-producing it.
In the movie, Pugh will play identical twins. In the book, one of these twins is getting married; the other is described as being a resentful Berkeley student. The resentful one is traveling back home for her sister’s wedding, determined to ruin it. Apparently, they’ve been apart for some time and, prior to this, have been wholly codependent. You can imagine the turmoil we’ll get to explore once this comes out.
I like Florence Pugh’s work and that she also said in that same Vanity Fair interview that deeply complicated women were her fetish. She loves to play those characters in her work, and I love consuming work that has those kinds of characters, so onward we go.
