Thomasin McKenzie and Ansel Elgort are set to star in "Dinner With Audrey," a feature film from Wayfarer Studios, Hyde Park Entertainment and Mad Chance Productions.
Two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon is in talks to board the Abe Sylvia-directed movie based on the true story of the 40-year friendship of Audrey Hepburn (McKenzie) and designer Count Hubert de Givenchy (Elgort) over the course of one magical, fashion-filled night in Paris. Kara Holden penned the screenplay.
Their dinner sparked a decades-long collaboration between Hepburn and de Givenchy who was the head of her wardrobe on such classics as "Breakfast at Tiffany‘s," "Funny Face," "How to Steal a Million," "Charade," and "Sabrina". In fact, Hepburn wore Givenchy when she won the Best Actress Oscar in 1954 for "Roman Holiday"
Ashok Armitraj and Priya Amritraj will produce through Hyde Park, along with Andrew Lazar from Mad Chance and Andrew Calof from Wayfarer. Holden will executive produce and Wayfarer is co-financing the film.
Carl Clifton of Hyde Park Entertainment will introduce the package to distributors at this year’s American Film Market.÷
