On the upcoming project, actress Frances said: ‘Emily Brontë’s writing is steeped in such passion, feeling, violence, and fierce intelligence – that I’ve always yearned to know who she really was.
‘Emily is about a rebel and misfit, a young woman daring to form herself, to embrace her true nature, despite the consequences. And, in creating an imagined life for her, I hope Emily Brontë will live again!’
Tim Haslam of Embankment, which is executive producing and arranging financing for the movie, added: ‘Frances’ storytelling is a breath of fresh air.
‘It attracts highly dynamic actors; each performing highly engaging characters, each provocative and just a touch dangerous; certainly, modern and spirited.’

Born in 1818 in West Yorkshire, Emily was the fifth of six children, and spent most of her short life in the moorland village of Haworth, where her Irish father Patrick was curate.
But life dealt Emily a series of terrible blows as she lost her mother when she was three, then two older sisters when she was seven.
Following her trauma, the novelist retreated into a fantasy world, writing stories and poetry with her siblings.
