Juliette Lewis may not always be the best of actresses (although she has put in some great performances), but she always picks interesting projects to work on. Now Variety reports that she’s taking the lead in Days Of Mary, which is a reimagining of Federico Fellini’s Nights Of Cabiria.
While the 1957 Italian movie is about a prostitute living in Rome, this new take moves things to Utah and follows an eternally optimistic working girl who’s looking for love to escape the broken world of Reno. It’s definitely an idea that has potential, and Lewis always does best with characters who have a sunny disposition despite the hardships they face.
Lewis has recently trying out TV with a series based on John Grisham’s The Firm, however due to low ratings it’s almost certain the show has been cancelled, allowing Juliette to head back to the movies. Days Of Mary will shoot this summer with Brad Michael Gilbert directing.
