BBC Films has acquired the bestselling novel Little Bee and they've got Nicole Kidman onboard to star and produce.
Nicole Kidman for Little Bee
From author Chris Cleave, Little Bee follows a fateful encounter on an African beach in which a 16-year-old Nigerian orphan named Little Bee meets a vacationing upper-middle-class British couple who've wandered into an area outside the safety of their resort.
Shawn Slovo, who was born and raised in South Africa only to relocate to the UK as a political refugee as a teen, is writing the script.
When it comes to Kidman, her production banner, Blossom Films, is just getting warmed up. The shingle just wrapped its first production with Rabbit Hole.
