Not that you needed any more proof that little Dakota Fanning isn’t so little anymore, but the actress has signed on to play the titular role of a sexless wife in Effie. Written by Emma Thompson, Effie tells the true story of teen bride Euphemia Gray (Fanning) and her marriage to famed critic John Ruskin in 1850s London. Per Deadline, “Effie’s husband never consummated the marriage over five years because Ruskin was for some reason disgusted by her body.” Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) will direct, with Thompson, Tom Sturridge and Greg Wise co-starring. Before Fanning signed on, both Saoirse Ronan and Carey Mulligan were circling the project.
