Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (Festen, Jagten) has been working on his new film for a year, an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's literary classic 'Far From The Madding Crowd'. The female lead would be played by American actress Carey Mulligan ('Shame', 'Drive'), and according to the Daily Mail magazine, Matthias Schoenaerts would also have been asked to play a role in the film. Schoenaerts is currently busy with the shoot of Michaël R. Roskam's new film 'Animal Rescue'. He has also been cast alongside Kate Winslet in the costume drama 'A Little Chaos', which will be released next year. The war film 'Suite Francaise' will also be released in 2014, in which Schoenaerts plays together with Michelle Williams.
