Lucy Boynton<\/a> will play singer Marianne Faithfull<\/a> in director Ian Bonh\u00f4te\u2019s forthcoming biopic Faithfull, <\/em>which was recently acquired for worldwide sales by Altitude. Casting is currently underway for an actor to play Mick Jagger and the film will begin shooting in the fall.<\/p>\n

Faithfull<\/em> is set in London in the mid-1960s and follows the singer-songwriter\u2019s \u201croller coaster journey from being discovered as a convent schoolgirl of seventeen, finding fame as a pop idol, living through hedonistic times and a tumultuous romance with Mick Jagger that inspired some of their greatest songs, to being a homeless drug addict in Soho.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julia Taylor-Stanley, Colin Vaines and Andee Ryder are producing the film, with Boynton stepping in as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fell in love with this project the second I read it so I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to be a part of telling Marianne\u2019s story both as an actor and, for the first time, as an executive producer, especially alongside this creative team,\u201d Boynton said in a statement. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to really get started.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>Marianne is an extraordinary woman who rebelled against the male dominated music industry,\u201d Bonh\u00f4te added. \u201cThe film will explore female-issues as well as the injustices she suffered in her quest to be recognized as an artist. I\u2019m honored to collaborate with Lucy and Julia to shine a light on Marianne\u2019s timeless story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faithfull noted, \u201cI am delighted that my story is finally being made with my dream team of Lucy, Julia and Ian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boynton was rumored to be involved in the project last year, with Deadline first reporting<\/a> the news in October. The actress previously appeared as Freddie Mercury<\/a>\u2019s one-time fianc\u00e9e Mary Austin in Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em>.<\/p>\n
