Tony Nominee Ruth Wilson Joins John Cameron Mitchell-Penned Film Project, Starring Nicole Kidman

Ruth Wilson, a 2015 Tony nominee for her performance in Constellations, will join the previously announced Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning in How to Talk to Girls at Parties, reports Variety. The upcoming film will be directed and co-written by Hedwig and the Angry Inch co-creator John Cameron Mitchell, who recently reprised his performance as the titular rock goddess on Broadway and will receive an honorary Tony Award in June.

Prior to her Broadway debut in Constellations, Wilson won Olivier Awards for Anna Christie and A Streetcar Named Desire. Also set to appear in the film is Matt Lucas (Bridesmaids, Alice in Wonderland). Kidman will return to the stage for the West End production of Photograph 51; she also starred in the Mitchell-helmed film adaptation of Rabbit Hole.

Co-written by Mitchell and Philippa Goslett, How to Talk to Girls at Parties is based on a short story from Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things. It tells a Romeo and Juliet-esque tale between punks and aliens.
