Fremantle Pacts with Natalie Dormer

Fremantle has entered into a multiyear first-look alliance with Natalie Dormer (Picnic at Hanging Rock) that includes a series about Vivien Leigh.

Dormer will create drama projects that will be exclusively co-developed with Fremantle. She is currently working with Fremantle and Mainstreet Pictures on Vivling, following the life of the legendary Oscar-winning British actress who starred in Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, among many other films.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Fremantle,” Dormer said. “Their impressive slate reflects a dedication to the highest quality storytelling and the strength of their reputation internationally.”

Christian Vesper, Fremantle’s executive VP and creative director for global drama, commented: “Natalie is a true talent both as an actress and producer. Her great ambition and taste for compelling entertaining projects is a perfect mix to add to the Fremantle family. We’re excited to be working with Natalie and to announce further new projects soon.”
