Hudson And Newell To Team Up

Movies
Kate Hudson who stared in 'Almost Famous' is set to take the lead role in 'The Girl With The Pearl Earring'. The movie is based on Tracy Chevalier's novel, which is based on the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's portrait of an anonymous woman wearing a pearl earring.

Chevalier's novel is believed to be based on 16-year-old Griet, who was employed by the painter to take care of his children, jealous wife and grumpy mother-in-law.

Tension begins to build when Vermeer's wife suspects there's something untoward in Griet's relationship with her husband. The situation is made worse when she discovers the 16-year-old has borrowed her prize pearl earrings to sit for a portrait.

Mike Newell who directed 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' is set to direct Hudson in 'The Girl With The Pearl Earring'.
