Studiocanal took to Twitter to share a first look photo of Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy in upcoming biopic film "Louis Wain."

The film stars Cumberbatch as the English artist who rose to prominence at the end of the 19th century; a brilliant man inspired by both his love of the world and the love of his life, Emily (Foy). Wain was famous for his distinctive paintings of cats and was an inspirational hero who defied obstacles throughout his life.

"Louis Wain" is directed by Will Sharpe from a script he co-wrote with Simon Stephenson. Amazon will release the film in the U.S. and Studiocanal will release the film in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
