After much speculation and rumour we can now confirm that the new adaptation of Rebecca, based on Daphne du Maurier’s most famous 1938 novel of the same name, is to be released on Netflix on 21st October.


Armie Hammer and Lily James


Starring Lily James and the second Mrs de Winter, Armie Hammer as Maxim and Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs Danvers, this film has been much anticipated, and we cannot wait to see how screenwriter Jane Goldman and director Ben Wheatley have interpreted the novel into a movie for the 21st century.


Other cast members include:

Tom Goodman-Hill as Frank Crawley
Keeley Hawes as Beatrice Lacy
Sam Riley as Jack Favell
Ann Dowd as Mrs Van Hopper
Jane Lapotaire as the Grandmother
