Carey Mulligan is considering taking on The Fury, a film about the suffragist movement, according to Deadline.
Originally titled Suffragettes, the drama is reported to be an ensemble piece featuring key figures from the womens' enfranchisement movement. It's been penned by Abi Morgan, writer of The Iron Lady and co-writer of Shame, which Mulligan starred in. Details of Mulligan's potential role in The Fury have not been revealed, but it will be directed by Sarah Gavron, the film-maker behind Brick Lane, which was also co-written by Morgan.
Mulligan, who recently appeared as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's extravagent adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, will next appear in Inside Llewyn Davis, the Coen brothers' film about the New York folk scene of the early 1960s. She plays Jean Berkey, a grumpy singer-songwriter who has a stormy relationship with the titular character, played by Oscar Isaac. After that we'll see Mulligan in Festen director Thomas Vinterberg's Far From the Madding Crowd. The film, an adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel, has Mulligan playing Bathsheba Everdene, a beautiful young woman who is romanced by a humble shepherd, a prosperous farmer and a dashing soldier.
