Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie' August 16 Source: Deadline Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art. Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.。劣迹斑斑的理查德·奇尔顿即将年满18岁，这就意味着，他必须离开班克罗夫特少管所，如果表现出色可以回归社会，否则也许会被送进监狱。一个偶然的机会，理查德看到一则蒙特贝洛夏令营招聘全职马倌的启事，工作内容是负责收拾马厩、照看马匹。理查德的父亲曾经养过马，因此从小他就受到这方面的熏陶，自知能够胜任又对养马很感兴趣的他决定前去应聘。但班克罗夫特少管所的负责人麦克却给理查德列出了一大堆的行为准则，并严厉地要求他一一背诵下来。而事实上，他早已在蒙特贝洛夏令营的首席辅导员克莱·纳尔森那里为理查德说尽了好话，希望她能给这个曾经犯过错误的孩子一个开始新生活的机会。 理查德的经验为他顺利赢得了这份工作，但出乎他意料的是，蒙特贝洛夏令营里的所有孩子竟然都是盲人。因此在与这些孩子的最初接触中，理查德充满了排斥。一天，克莱让他去卡尔·莫里斯的牧场拉回卡尔先生捐赠的一些马具，回来时，他却还带回了一匹叫幽灵的白马。原来，不久之前，莫里斯太太来到马场骑马，不慎跌下马背摔伤，脾气暴躁的莫里斯坚持要杀掉幽灵，幸好老驯马师巴斯特偷偷将它藏了起来，才避免了这个悲剧的发生。但巴斯特没法一直把幽灵藏在马场，所以只好求理查德帮忙照顾。 幽灵的到来令理查德的生活一下增添了不少乐趣，他想到通过教孩子们骑马来增加他们的自信心。这个办法果然奏效，因为无法看到这个世界而变得越来越自我封闭的孩子们都变得开朗起来。不久，一个叫林赛的女孩被送到了蒙特贝洛夏令营，美丽的林赛却异常孤僻，不喜欢和任何人说话。在理查德眼中，她就是个脾气古怪、不合群的娇小姐。一个偶然的机会，理查德得知，几个月前，林赛还是一名出色的体操选手，但却在参加奥运会预选赛的时候，不慎跌落下器械，造成了双目失明。 了解了林赛的遭遇后，理查德开始主动接触她，在付出了巨大的耐心后，终于打开了林赛的心扉，她开始试着与马接触，在听过一则关于残疾人马术障碍赛的新闻后，林赛变得蠢蠢欲动起来，她请求理查德帮她实现这个梦想。幽灵自然成了林赛实现梦想的最佳拍档。通过一段时间的训练，林赛不但成功地完成了预定的项目，并且找回了久违的自信和快乐。。民国初年，江南小镇的两家最有名的酒楼余家和曹家走向了迥然不同的命运，余家败落，曹家兴起，本应嫁给余春荣的李如锦无奈嫁给了余春荣的表哥曹庆祥，至此曹余两家陷入了二代人的恩怨纠葛。20年后，余春荣的女儿惠兰长大成人，正直善良、厨艺精湛，成为戏班的小厨娘，是十里八乡的好姑娘，因为各种渊源最终嫁入了曹家。惠兰因不满曹家棒打鸳鸯，李如锦和惠兰婆媳两人产生了诸多误会和冲突。而曹家的小姑晓娟与管家联手利用曹家的矛盾篡夺了曹家财产，赶出如锦一家，占据了曹家。如锦与惠兰在危难中化解恩怨，利用家传的御厨秘籍，赢回了酒楼，成就了一番好婆婆、乖儿媳的佳话。。
