Carla Gugino talking to someone on her airpods in The Girls on the Bus
The Big Picture Carla Gugino has found her next project, and it will allow the actress to step into the shoes of one of the biggest performers in the history of the industry. According to Variety, the Fall of the House of Usher star has been hired to play Vivien Leigh in an upcoming biopic titled The Florist, directed by Nick Sandow and written by Jayce Bartok.
Leigh is known around the world for her unforgettable performance as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, the timeless classic that follows the character as she falls in love with Ashley Wilkes during a very complicated time in the history of the United States. Her portrayal of Scarlett O'Hara earned Vivien Leigh the Academy Award for Best Actress, an achievement she would accomplish once again when she played Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Gugino has built the last few years of her career by starring in a wide variety of horror television series. In The Haunting of Hill House, the performer reminded the world of what she was capable of when she stepped into the role of Olivia Crain, a troubled mother who saw her mental health damaged after her family moved into the titular home. The series was produced by Mike Flanagan, who worked with Gugino on other projects such as The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Fall of the House of Usher.
The Duo Behind the Upcoming Biopic Close Exploring such a specific time in Vivien Leigh's life will prove to be a challenge, but director Nick Sandow is more than ready to tackle the story of The Florist. The filmmaker previously worked on titles such as American Princess and Orange is the New Black, the popular Netflix television series about Piper Chapman's experiences in a federal prison.
