I'm very much looking forward to the adaptation of Deborah Moggach's novel Tulip Fever. The drama is described as followed on IMDB:
"An artist (Waltz) falls for a young married woman (Vikander) while he's commissioned to paint her portrait during the tulip mania of 17th century Amsterdam."

With a 17th century Dutch setting and actors like Alicia Vikander and Christoph Waltz attached, this project is surely something I'm very curious about. Cara Delevigne and even Cressida Bonas ( famous for her relation with Prince Harry) also play a part in this upcoming feature which is sure to make a buzz in Hollywood.

The cast further includes Dane DeHaan, Jack O’Connell, Holliday Grainger, Dame Judi Dench and Matthew Morrison. While Jude Law and Keira Knightley were first attached to star, this cast is as spectacular. Director Justin Chadwick earlier directed the period dramas The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) and miniseries Bleak House (2005). With writer Tom Stoppard, known for his work on e.g. Shakespeare in Love (1998), and composer Danny Elfman, Tulip Fever has all elements to be a succes.

| A kind of similar film is The Girl With The Pearl Earring (2003) which is also an adaptation of a novel, features The Netherlands in the 17th century and focuses on the relationship between a painter and his muse. Scarlett Johansson played the title role. |
