Love, Betrayal, and Liberation: Emilia Clarke’s ‘An Ideal Wife’ Now in Development

While Emilia Clarke has already won hearts as the Mother of Dragons in “Game of Thrones” and even journeyed through the Star Wars galaxy and the MCU, fans have undoubtedly fantasized about her as an ideal wife. Now, in a twist of cinematic fate, she’s set to make that fantasy a reality—on screen, at least—as she steps into the role of Constance Wilde in the upcoming feature film, “An Ideal Wife.”

The feature film is currently in active development, but the talented team of creatives backing Clarke is already giving us a lot to be excited about!

The Story: A Tale of Self-Discovery Amidst Marital Strife

The film revolves around Clarke’s character Constance Wilde, who finds herself eclipsed by her famous husband, Oscar. Once a vibrant part of his life, she now feels like a mere sideshow to his ego.

But when Oscar’s infidelity threatens their marriage, Constance sees an opportunity for liberation and self-discovery. She crosses paths with Arthur Humphreys, a man willing to unlock her suppressed desires, leading her to question societal norms and embrace her true self.

The Talent: A Stellar Team Behind and In Front of the Camera

Best known for her iconic role in “Game of Thrones,” Emilia Clarke is set to bring depth and complexity to Constance Wilde. Her ability to portray strong, multi-faceted women makes her the perfect choice for this intricate role.

The screenplay is penned by a talented trio: Sophie Hyde, Claire Barré, and Matthew Cormack. Notably, Sophie Hyde, who is also directing the film, has previously collaborated with Matthew Cormack on projects like “52 Tuesdays.” Their proven synergy promises a compelling narrative and nuanced characters.

The Casting Maestros: Dixie Chassay and Nikki Barrett

When it comes to casting, Dixie Chassay and Nikki Barrett are no strangers to assembling star-studded ensembles that resonate with audiences. Chassay, known for her work on critically acclaimed films like “The Favourite,” has a knack for matching actors to roles that push the boundaries of their craft. Barrett, whose credits include international hits like “Lion,” has often spoken about the importance of authentic casting in interviews. 

Together, their combined expertise promises a cast that not only complements Emilia Clarke’s undeniable talent but also elevates the entire narrative. With these two at the helm, expect nothing less than casting magic that brings each character to life in a way that’s as compelling as it is authentic.
