Variety reports that Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, who are married, are in negotiations along with Evan Rachel Wood to topline Lakeshore Entertainment’s American Pastoral.
Bettany would portray Seymour “the Swede” Levov, a golden boy and star athlete, who becomes wealthy and marries the most beautiful woman (Connelly) in town. Wood will play Levov’s daughter, who breaks family ranks to become an anti-Vietnam War radical and bombs a post office.
