Sigourney Weaver, Kate Mara, Elizabeth Banks and Rupert Friend are all set to star in the women’s rights drama “Call Jane” which will be directed by “Carol” scribe Phyllis Nagy.
“The Resident” writers Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi penned the script, which made the Blacklist, and follows a traditional 1960s housewife (Banks) who unexpectedly falls pregnant.
She then finds the Janes, an underground abortion movement led by Virginia (Weaver). The group saves her life and gives her a sense of purpose: to help other women take control of their destinies.
Robbie Brenner, Kevin McKeon and David Wulf produce and the shoot is set to start next spring. Elisabeth Moss and Susan Sarandon were originally attached but departed due to scheduling issues.
