Michelle Williams Set to Star Opposite Julianne Moore In AFTER THE WEDDING Remake

Michelle Williams will star opposite Julianne Moore in the remake of the Danish film "After the Wedding," sources tell Variety.

Michelle Williams, last seen in critically acclaimed films The Greatest Showman and All the Money in the World, is set to join Julianne Moore in the U.S. remake of After The Wedding, which is written and directed by Moore's spouse Bart Freundlich.

This version takes on a different spin to Susanne Bier's original Danish drama by casting the two lead roles as women in the story of Isabel, who runs a dilapidated orphanage outside of Calcutta, and who travels to New York to meet the New York millionaire (Moore) who has provided money for the orphanage. Following the latter's wedding, a mystery unravels

Williams entered into her diverse film career after the DAWSON'S CREEK run, focusing on independent films, primarily. Her first Oscar nomination came in 2005 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in the Ang Lee film BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger. Recently, Williams has appeared in The Greatest Showman, I Feel Pretty, and will appear in the upcoming spiderman spin-off Venom.

The screen star has made two appearances on Broadway in recent years. When the Alan Cumming revival of CABARET was remounted in 2014, Williams appeared as nightclub performer Sally Bowles. Two seasons later, she joined Jeff Daniels in a revival of the tense drama BLACKBIRD, which earned Williams a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress.
