Unbroken star Jack O'Connell and Matthew Duckett, known for his role in Doctors have joined the cast of the film adaptation of DH Lawrence's classic novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.

The project, which stars Emma Corrin, will be the first film to be produced under the new partnership where Sony Pictures will offer Netflix a first look at any films it intends to make for streaming, reported Deadline.

The adaptation will be directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, who has previously helmed films like The Mustang and The Act. The onscreen adaptation has been written by David Magee, known for his work in the Academy award-winning Ang Lee film, Life of Pi.

The feature film version of Lady Chatterley's Lover will be produced by Laurence Mark, Pete Czernin and Graham Broadbent of Blueprint Pictures, and Marisa Paiva and Nikki Cooper will be overseeing the film for Sony's 3000 Pictures.
