Academy Award winners Zellweger (Cold Mountain, 2004, and Judy, 2020) and Spacek (Coal Miner's Daughter, 1980) will join forces with Kate Winslet’s daughter Threapleton for the upcoming directorial debut of Nyad writer Julia Cox.
A Woman in the Sun is a multi-generational story, which follows a month in the life of Claire Keating, a bartender on Nantucket. When her mother gets sick and her daughter moves home, Claire’s world falls apart.
Zellweger is producing the project alongside Carmella Casinelli (for Big Picture Co.) and Kim Roth, with Greg Gertmenian co-producing.
Zellweger said: “Championing promising filmmakers like Julia has been central to Big Picture Co’s mission since day one, and we’re thrilled to be part of this very special project and the team who will help share Julia’s vision. The script is a storytelling treasure, and Julia’s instincts set her apart as an emerging filmmaker. We can’t wait to get started.”
Black Bear and Ben Affleck’s Artists Equity are co-financing the project.
