Ellie Bamber to play Kate Moss in new biopic

• Actress Ellie Bamber is to play Kate Moss in a new biopic.
• Veteran screen actor Derek Jacobi will play Freud in the movie.
• The role of Kate was created over the course of nine months.

The 26-year-old “Willow” actress has agreed to play the supermodel in the upcoming movie “Moss and Freud,” which is about the supermodel’s decision to pose naked for artist Lucian Freud. Veteran screen actor Derek Jacobi will play Freud in the movie.

Kate has worked closely with writer/director James Lucas to bring the project to life, and she is thrilled about the casting announcement.

Kate explains: “Since this is such a personal narrative of mine, it has been crucial that I be involved with James in all parts as the movie has progressed.

“I am thrilled by the recent casting and excited that the film will begin shooting soon, I cannot wait to see it.”

The movie is centred around Freud’s London studio and tells the tale of the artist’s past while also highlighting Kate’s status as a well-known model.

The role of Kate was created over the course of nine months, and it was later sold in 2005 for approximately $5 million. The two remained close friends up until Freud’s passing in 2011 at the age of 88.

In a recent interview, Kate said she was inspired to collaborate with James Lucas after seeing his film “The Phone Call” and that she wanted to convey the tale of their extraordinary connection.

She previously said in a statement: “Sitting for Lucian was an honour and incredible experience. After watching ‘The Phone Call’ I knew that James would convey the emotion in the storytelling in a fitting way, one this memoir deserves.”

Lucas previously said: “In many ways, I believe all paths led me to make this film. Its topography, emotional and psychological drama, bohemianism, beauty, characters and artistic process all align with my life and the way I have lived it.

“I’m grateful to Kate Moss and the Freud Estate for entrusting me with this precious and unconventional love story. It allows our diverse audience to take a look behind the curtain and see, truthfully, what makes these cultural titans tick.”
