Everything you need to know about the latest adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s classic novel starring Emma Corrin. <\/p>
When D.H. Lawrence\u2019s novel Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover was first written in the late 1920s, it quickly became one of the most controversial books of all time \u2013 banned in several countries for its descriptions of sex and liberal use of swear words.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until 1960 that it became available in the UK, and its eventual publication became something of a turning point in the cultural history of the nation, with the novel becoming a monumental hit and often credited with ushering in what became known as the \u201csexual revolution\u201d of the 1960s.<\/p>\n
Now, 60 years later, the novel is getting the Netflix<\/a> treatment, with a brand new film starring The Crown<\/a>\u2018s Emma Corrin and This Is England\u2019s Jack O\u2019Connell set to be released on the streamer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that this is not the first adaptation of the novel in recent times \u2013 a TV film starring Holliday Grainger, Richard Madden, and James Norton was released back in 2015, with Line of Duty\u2019s Jed Mercurio on writing duties.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about the latest adaptation.<\/p>\n It is not currently clear when the film will be released on Netflix, but the streamer has revealed that production will begin in the UK this Autumn.<\/p>\n That means that it\u2019s very unlikely we\u2019ll see the film before towards the end of 2022 at the earliest \u2013 we\u2019ll keep you updated should we hear any more official news.<\/p> Emma Corrin will follow up their award-winning performance as Princess Diana in series four of The Crown by taking on the lead role of Lady Chatterley in the film, which is set to be her first major movie role.<\/p>\n They are joined in the cast by This Is England, Godless and The North Water star Jack O\u2019Connell and acclaimed theatre actor Matthew Duckett, who has previously appeared in Doctors and Confession. It has not been made clear what roles O\u2019Connell and Duckett will be playing, but it seems likely that one will play Oliver Mellors and the other Sir Clifford Chatterley \u2013 we\u2019ll keep you updated when we hear further news.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the film is being directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, whose previous credits include 2019 film The Mustang and episodes of the TV miniseries Mrs. America.<\/p>\n The film is being billed by Netflix as a \u201cretelling\u201d of the classic story, which portrays a married aristocratic woman who begins in a controversial affair with the gamekeeper of the estate at which she lives.<\/p>\n The official synopsis provided by the streamer reads: \u201cWe follow the life of Lady Chatterley, a woman born to a life of wealth and privilege, who soon finds herself married to a man that she eventually falls out of love with.<\/p>\n \u201cLady Chatterley engages in a torrid affair with a gamekeeper on their English estate, discovering more desire and intimacy than she thought possible. When she realises that she has fallen heart and soul, she breaks all traditions of the day and seeks happiness with the man she loves.\u201d<\/p>\n Given production is yet to begin, we\u2019re still a while off a trailer being released yet \u2013 but we\u2019ll post one here when it eventually becomes available.<\/p>\n Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover will be released on Netflix.
