Irish powerhouses Jessie Buckley and Saoirse Ronan are to star opposite each other in a new movie.
The duo are to work with Dakota Johnson and Josh O'Connor on an adaption of Audrey Niffenegger's bestseller, Three Incestuous Sisters.
At the time of writing, any details regarding the plot were kept under wraps, although the film is set to be "loosely based" on the novel, which followed three sisters, Ophile, Clothilde and Bettine, who live together in isolation near the sea.
In the story, the arrival of Paris, the son of the lighthouse keeper, has a profound impact on the lives of each sister.
It has also been reported that Italian director Alice Rohrwacher will be in charge of the movie's script alongside Ottessa Moshfegh.
