We nave news today of a star studded cast for The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee; thanks to our friends at cinematical for the heads up!
Based on Rebecca Miller’s upcoming novel (that she adapted and will direct), the pic will focus on “a dutiful wife whose husband falls for a younger woman, freeing her to explore her buried sensuality and leading to a very quiet nervous breakdown.” It’s been confirmed that Robin Wright Penn is the wife, and Winona Ryder is the younger woman. Adding to the tasty cast is Keanu Reeves, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Alan Arkin and Monica Bellucci.
Arkin will, of course, play the husband who leaves Wright Penn in the dust, and Bellucci will play his first wife.
This sounds like a great cast! I look forward to a story about a freshly divorced woman looking to fill her coffers with revenge sex. I have said it before and I will say it again, divorce is a slut factory. When some women leave a marriage, they seem to get great satisfaction from humping like possessed werewolves. Good for them I say! Post divorce must be a stressful time indeed and I can think of no better remedy than sexual healing. In this film the healing doesn’t appear to solve the problem and eventually leads to the looney bin.
The cast listed above features the delightful Monica Bellucci. It is always a pleasure to see her involved in a project, she is a legendary coug and we are big fans of her work, and her person. Filming for this project begins in April and we will be sure to keep you updated with news, pics and clips as soon as they are made available to us.
