Good ‘Evening’ Patrick Wilson

Date:

Patrick Wilson, star of the upcoming films Little Children and Running with Scissors, is now attached to the next project from Focus FeaturesEvening, the bigscreen adaptation of Susan Minot’s bestselling novel.

Evening tells the story of Ann Lord (Vanessa Redgrave/Claire Danes), a sixty-five-year-old woman diagnosed with terminal cancer. The film follows Ann’s retreat into her past as she remembers the love of her life, while also focusing on her two daughters as they cope with their mother’s impending death.

The film will be directed by Lajos Koltai and has been adapted by Minot and Michael Cunningham. Starring alongside Wilson is Toni
Collette and Hugh Dancy. A fan of Wilson’s since “Angels in America” and a follower of his work after Hard Candy, I can’t decide which film I’m more excited to see – Purple Violets or Evening.
