Actor Samara Weaving will co-star with Kelvin Harrison Jr in Searchlight Picture’s movie “Chevalier de Saint-Georges”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be directed by Stephen Williams from an original script by Stefani Robinson, the true-life period drama centers on Joseph Bologne, or the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, who is known as the Black Mozart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born in the Caribbean, Bologne was the illegitimate son of a plantation owner and a slave who was then educated in France and became a fencing master, which served as an entree into French high society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his music and operas, he ascended to the upper echelons of Marie Antoinette’s Paris society until a court scandal laid him low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Weaving will essay the role of Marie-Josephine, a woman who yearns for creative fulfillment outside of her empty, loveless marriage and defies her controlling husband to become the voice of Bologne’s opera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The movie will be produced by Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures along with Robinson and Dianne McGunigle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weaving, who broke out with 2019 hit “Ready or Not”, will next star in Paramount and Hasbro’s upcoming “Snake Eyes”, also starring Henry Golding, Andrew Koji, Ursula Corbero and Iko Uwais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor will also feature in Damian Chazelle’s “Babylon” and the English remake of French comedy “The Valet”.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
