Amazon To Collaborate With Marjane Satrapi For Marie Curie Biopic

Latest news reveals that Amazon Prime Video is all set to collaborate with Studiocanal for Marjane Satrapi’s Radioactive. The film is a biopic of two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, which features Rosamund Pike in the lead character. The project is being jointly financed by Amazon along with Studiocanal.

Moreover, the international rights of the film have been bought by France, Germany, Australia/New Zealand and the U.K., where Studiocanal has direct distribution operations. Also, it has been learned that the film has gone on floors in Budapest recently. The film is being produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Paul Webster at Working Title.

Meanwhile, the film has been penned by Jack Thorne, which is an adaptation of Lauren Redniss’ 2010 graphic novel Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout. Talking about the film, Satrapi said, “This film is not just a biopic about this exceptional woman. It tells the story of radioactivity from its discovery until today, the humanist approach of the Curie couple with their discovery, the cynicism of some about its use and the effect it has had on our world until today”. Further, Satrapi has been nominated for Oscar- and BAFTA for the film Persepolis.
