Kate Winslet entering ‘historical figures career phase’? To play renowned

The words “Kate Winslet period drama” work like magic, and if you’re a fan of the actress’ period film work, then you’re going to be excited about this news.

If a picture is truly worth a thousand words, American war photographer Lee Miller shot about 100 novels’ worth of images from World War II. Troy Lum and Andrew Mason of Hopscotch Features are putting the movie together and have optioned The Lives Of Lee Miller, a biography written by the subject’s son, Antony Penrose. An acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue, Miller photographed the liberation of Paris, the London Blitz, and the aftermath of the atrocities that took place in concentration camps like Buchenwald and Dachau.

According to The Guardian, the book chronicles Miller’s life in cities in the USA and Europe in the first half of 1900s as a model, surrealist and photographer.

Earlier this year, her 36-year friendship with Pablo Picasso was explored in a separate exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. No director or writer has signed to the project as of yet.

Winslet is getting awards buzz for her performance in “Steve Jobs“, which is now in limited release and will open nationwide October 23.

The producers are also given an exclusive access to her archives, photographs, and diaries. Miller has won many prizes for her daring coverage of all these incidents.

Kate Winslet will soon be back on our screens playing Joanna Hoffman, a woman making her way in a male-dominated milieu with Steve Jobs.
