Australian film director, producer, writer, and actor Baz Luhrmann, best known for The Great Gatsby (2013) and Elvis (2022), is all set to make his next film titled ‘Jehanne d’Arc’ with Warner Bros. The film will follow the epic story of Joan of Arc, a French peasant who believed God had sent her to lead an army and save her country during the Hundred Years’ War.
The casting for the film is underway, with a casting call out for a young female in “The ultimate teenage girl coming of age story, set in the Hundred Years’ War.”
Earlier this year, the filmmaker dropped out of the adaptation of the Russian novel “The Master and Margarita” due to concerns over the book rights. Luhrmann is also known for the Red Curtain Trilogy, which consists of Strictly Ballroom (1992), starring Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice; Romeo + Juliet (1996), starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes; and Moulin Rouge! (2001), starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
