The Oscar-nominated actress will star in the Australia-set adaptation of author Holly Ringland’s debut novel The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, described as a tale of female resilience, friendship, and the power to overcome tragedy. Written by Australian writer Sarah Lambert, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart "follows a young girl, Alice Hart, whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life," per Deadline. "After a family tragedy in which she loses both her abusive father and beloved mother in a tragic and mysterious fire, nine-year-old Alice is taken to live with her grandmother June on a flower farm where she learns that there are secrets within secrets about her and her family’s past. Set against Australia’s natural landscape, and with native wildflowers and plants providing a way to express the inexpressible, the family drama spans the decades as Alice grows from a child into a woman, is epic and visceral. Her journey builds to an emotional climax as Alice, once again, finds herself fighting for her life against a man she loves."
