Emily Blunt could join Annapurna’s inspirational drama “Not Fade Away”, which has David O. Russell and John Krasinski producing.
Via Variety, the project is based on Rebecca Alexander’s 2015 memoir “Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found.” Alexander was born with a rare genetic mutation called Usher syndrome type III and has been simultaneously losing both her sight and hearing since she was a child. A fall from a window left her body completely shattered at the age of 18, but over the next two decades, she became a psychotherapist with two masters’ degrees and an athlete who teaches spin classes — despite her limited sight and hearing.
Blunt and husband Krasinski will work together on “A Quiet Place 2”, with Blunt to star and Krasinski back to direct – with the film out in 2020.
Deadline had the exclusive on this.
