Ruth Wilson and Matt Bomer are attached to star in The Book of Ruth, it has been announced.
The Book of Ruth will be a film based on the true story of Ruth Coker Burks, a devout Christian divorcée and single mother from Arkansas who became a champion and caregiver for AIDS sufferers in 1980s America.
Set in 1983, Ruth Coker Burks (Wilson) lives a busy life, devoted to her work, her six-year-old daughter Jessica, and her faith. When a handsome new neighbor (Bomer) turns out to be a gay New-Yorker who has fled the City and returned home after the death of his partner to AIDS, she decides to educate herself on the epidemic sweeping the country.
The screenplay comes from Rebecca Pollock and Kas Graham.
Michael Arden, the two-time Tony Award nominated theater director (Spring Awakening & Once on This Island) will helm the pic, his feature film debut.
Many of you may also know Michael Arden for his acting work as well. He notably starred as Quasimodo in the English stage musical production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
He’s amazing on the cast recording but he seems to be focusing on directing work currently.
This film sounds like it could be brilliant! ! !
