Actress Glenn Close is all set to play Anna Anderson, the woman who claimed to be the Grand Russian Duchess Anastasia in 'Duchess'.
The film will reunite Close with director Arie Posin and producers Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn, who teamed with Close for 'Albert Nobbs', reported Deadline.
Posin wrote the script with Nicholas Kazan.
The film is said to be a dark road-trip comedy based on true events and covering the last days of Anna and her American husband Jack Manahan.
After the courts forcibly put Anna into a retirement home in Charlottesville in 1983, Jack kidnapped her, and together they evaded the authorities across rural Virginia hoping to experience the honeymoon they never had. The film will shoot in Virginia.
Close recently finished 'Guardians Of The Galaxy'.
