Music News: Billie Eilish’s Acting Debut
Billie Eilish is in advanced talks to make her film acting debut in an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s classic novel, The Bell Jar.
Deadline reports that the 10-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar-winning songwriter is set to star in the lead role of Esther Greenwood.
The Bell Jar is the only novel written by the celebrated poet. Published in 1963, the semi-autobiographical work charts a young woman’s descent into mental illness amid the burden of societal pressures. Plath died by suicide a month after the novel’s first UK publication.
Oscar winner Sarah Polley will direct the film, which is only the second significant adaptation since Marilyn Hassett starred in 1979.
Julia Stiles was on board to star in a version in 2007, which didn’t happen. Dakota Fanning was announced as the lead a decade later, but that was also shuttered before filming began. It was reported in 2019 that Showtime was developing a TV series with Frankie Shaw, which was also abandoned.
There’s no word on whether she’ll be writing any music for her latest big-screen venture.
