Great Expectations

You've seen Bleak House, so you thought you'd seen Gillian Anderson in Charles Dickens, but you certainly haven't seen what's headed our way. According to the UK's Daily Mail, Gillian is one of several actors in negotiations to star in a modern adaptation of Dickens' Great Expectations.

The three-part BBC drama would feature her as "a 'sexually charged and alluring' Miss Havisham in a radical television reworking" of the novel. "I was keep to have a younger Miss Havisham. I wanted a woman in her 40s who was a sexual charge and who still has those fires that run deep," said Sarah Phelps, the author of the new version.

Gillian is rumored to be the top choice for the role, and should negotiations pan out, filming would begin this July and the series would hit television over Christmas. For more details, check out the original article here, and we'll keep you updated should any of this become confirmed.

Sold

Sold, the human trafficking drama, has quietly been in the works for Gillian for some time; however, it looks like it's coming off the sidelines because filming will soon be getting underway in India. Gillian will be playing, "a photographer whose life accidentally gets intertwined with a girl who gets sold in Nepal. Gillian attempts to hunt down the girl, who is being transported to a brothel in India, and bust the trafficking network."

David Arquette is also set to appear in the film which could come out later this year according to IMDb. Filming was originally rumored to begin in November, but the latest article has it starting next month. Check that out here at The Times of India.
