Actors Jude Law, Marion Cottilard, Andrea Riseborough and Josh O'Connor have joined Kate Winslet in the upcoming biographical drama movie Lee.

The film is based on the life of Lee Miller, the Vogue cover model who traded the glamorous career for a dangerous career as a WWII photographer. She chronicled the fighting on the allied front lines and exposed the atrocities that Hitler's Nazi Germany perpetrated on Jews in concentration camps.

Winslet is set to play the titular role. Law will play Roland Penrose, an artist and poet who would eventually fall in love with Miller. O'Connor plays Miller's son, Anthony Penrose. Riseborough will star as Audrey Withers, the editor of British Vogue and a close friend of Miller, while Cotillard will play Solange D'Ayen, the fashion director of French Vogue.

The film has a screenplay written by Liz Hannah, who adapted it from the book The Lives of Lee Miller by Anthony Penrose.

Winslet is also producing along with Troy Lum and Andrew Mason of Hopscotch Features, as well as Rocket Science and Finola Dwyer.

Lee is expected to start production early next year.
