Abbie Cornish in negotiations to topline Jane Campion’s period romance drama Bright Star.
The script, which Campion wrote and is directing, is based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats’ untimely death at age 25. Cornish will portray Brawne.
The production is eyeing a late summer or early fall start.
