Jennifer Connelly Thinks Big for ‘Little Children’
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Connelly is in negotiations to join Kate Winslet in “Little Children” for New Line Cinema.
Todd Field, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-nominated 2001 drama “In the Bedroom,” is set to direct the adaptation of the Tom Perrotta novel. Field and Perrotta are co-writing the screenplay.
The novel revolves around a group of weird, suburban characters and their relationships with children. There’s a bisexual feminist addicted to Internet porn (Winslet), a stay-at-home dad who resists his wife’s ambitious plans for him, an uptight supermom who schedules sex with her husband and a pedophile fresh out of prison.
Connelly, who won an Oscar for best supporting actress for “A Beautiful Mind,” most recently starred in “House of Sand and Fog” and “The Hulk.” Her other credits include “Requiem for a Dream” and “Mulholland Falls.” She next appears in Walter Salles’ “Dark Water.”
