Henry Cavill Joins Romance The Rosie Project
Henry Cavill will star in the literary adaptation The Rosie Project. The actor has starred in several action hits in recent years, including Netflix’s The Witcher and Enola Holmes. Cavill has also proven himself a box-office draw, gracing screens as Superman in the DC Extended Universe films and Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
Deadline reports that Cavill will star in The Rosie Project. The news was first reported by Giant Freakin Robot. The project will be an adaptation of Australian author Graeme Simsion’s 2013 novel of the same name. Production is still seeking a female lead to play Rosie. It was previously reported that Jennifer Lawrence was once attached but left the project after negotiations soured. Back then, Boyhood director Richard Linklater was set to direct.
Cavill is best known for his action roles, making this an exciting change of pace for the actor. Indeed, the role calls to mind Clark Kent more than Superman. The Witcher star may be looking to diversify his acting portfolio after a string of high-adrenaline hits, and The Rosie Project might be the project for him.
The Rosie Project is the story of genetics professor Don Tillman, who struggles to have a serious relationship with women and has never been on a second date. To correct this, he devises a questionnaire to assess the suitability of female partners. However, his plan is scuppered when he meets Rosie, who is everything the questionnaire rules out (wild, chaotic, and carefree). The pair of opposites fall in love in this romantic fiction.
