Eva Green will star in the futuristic drama “Womb,” Hungarian helmer Benedek Fliegauf’s first English-language film. Produced by Roman Paul and Gerhard Meixner of Berlin-based Razor Film (“Waltz With Bashir”) and Andras Muhi of Inforg Studio Budapest, the film tells the story of a grieving widow, played by Green, who decides to clone her late husband.
Cedomir Kolar and Marc Baschet of Paris-based ASAP Films, ZDF/ Arte and Arte Cinema are co-producing the film. Fliegauf, who won a Golden Leopard in Locarno in 2007 for his experimental picture “Milky Way,” will begin production in March on the North Sea coast.
