Emma Thompson and Dakota Fanning in Effie

Based on a real-life Victorian-era scandal, this period drama (now shooting 
in Venice and set for a June 2012 release) stars Dakota Fanning (right) 
as Euphemia ”Effie” Gray, a teen who fights to escape a loveless marriage to celebrated art critic John Ruskin (Greg Wise). Emma Thompson (left) — who plays Effie’s confidante, Lady Eastlake, and wrote the script — says the story highlights ”part of the submerged history of women: very, very famous men who are absolutely vile to their wives.” —Josh Rottenberg

Dakota Fanning & Tom Sturridge To Star in ‘Effie’

Read below for info on Dakota Fanning and Tom Sturridge’s new project, ‘Effie.’

From Deadline:

Dakota Fanning will star in the title role of Effie, the Emma Thompson-scripted period biopic about the unfortunate marriage between Euphemia Gray and the famed critic John Ruskin in 1850s London. Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing. Though the teenager was gorgeous, Effie’s husband never consummated the marriage over five years because Ruskin was for some reason disgusted by her body. After suffering through a loveless marriage and browbeating by her in-laws, Effie fell in love with Ruskin’s protégé, painter John Everett Millais.

Greg Wise will play Ruskin, and Tom Sturridge will play Millais.
