Dakota and Elle Fanning to Play Sisters in The Nightingale
Dakota and Elle Fanning will finally be starring in a movie together! The two are set to headline the new film, The Nightingale for Tristar.
Based on Kristin Hannah’s worldwide best-seller, the film follows two sisters coming of age in France on the eve of World War II and tells the story or their struggle to survive the German occupation of France. The story is inspired by the courageous women of the French Resistance who helped downed Allied airmen escape Nazi-occupied territory and hid Jewish children.
In a statement released by the sisters, ““‘The Nightingale’ will be the first time we act on screen together. We have played the same character at different ages but have never spoken to each other in front of a camera. For years, we have looked for a film to do with one another and then this gem appeared. As sisters, to share our artistry with each other while bringing such a powerful sister story to life is a dream come true. We are so lucky to have our fearless director, Melanie Laurent, to guide us along on the journey. Let’s do this, sister!!”
I am so ready for this film!
