Kristin Scott Thomas to play Mrs Danvers
Following much speculation as to who will play the important role of Mrs Danvers, we can now confirm that Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sarah’s Key) is to join the cast of Ben Wheatley’s new adaptation of Rebecca in this iconic role.
Earlier in the year it was announced that Lily James and Armie Hammer had been cast in the roles of the second Mrs de Winter and Maxim in Ben Wheatley’s Netflix/Working Title adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s most famous novel Rebecca.
