Free Fire filmmaker Ben Wheatley has added four new powerhouse names to his Rebecca lineup, Netflix announced Friday.
Keeley Hawes, Ann Dowd, Sam Riley and Ben Crompton will join Wheatley’s new adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier’s gothic classic Rebecca, produced by Working Title.
Hawes is riding high after her role as Julia Montague in the Netflix sensation Bodyguard and has previously worked with Wheatley on High-Rise. You can also catch her alongside Keira Knightley in the forthcoming indie flick Misbehaviour.
Riley, best-known for his 2007 performance as Ian Curtis in Control, will join the cast after his work on Maleficent and Pride and Prejudice, while Dowd, considered one of the best character actors of our time, comes to Rebecca after a recent Emmy win for her work on The Handmaid’s Tale. Her recent film credits include American Animals and Hereditary.
