The ‘Game of Thrones’ star, Emilia Clarke, is set to portray the Irish author Constance Lloyd, who was married to Oscar Wilde, in the film ‘An Ideal Wife’ that is being directed by ‘Good Luck to You, Leo Grande’ helmer Sophie Hyde.
The project will be presented at this week’s American Film Market, which is set to begin on Tuesday, reports Female First UK.
The film will tell the story of Lloyd — an author and feminist activist who took part in the dress reform movement which campaigned to allow women to dress in comfortable clothing rather than the stifling outfits of the era.
According to Female First UK, Lloyd married Wilde in 1884 and the pair had two sons. However, she moved to Switzerland with the children after the writer received a two-year prison sentence for homosexuality.

Emilia Clarke has been tapped to take on the role of Irish author and Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance Lloyd in ‘An Ideal Wife.’
Plot details are currently being kept locked up but it is said that it will shed light on Lloyd, who was an author and feminist activist who took part in the dress reform movement, which campaigned to allow women to dress in comfortable clothing rather than the stifling Victorian dresses of the era. Lloyd married Wilde in 1884 and the couple had two sons. However, after Wilde received a two-year prison term for homosexuality, which was still illegal at the time (it would only be decriminalized in England and Wales in 1967), Lloyd moved to Switzerland with their children and distanced them from the writer.

Emilia Clarke is finding her post-Game of Thrones days in projects like Marvel’s Secret Invasion Disney+ series and dramatic films like the upcoming McCarthy starring opposite Michael Shannon. The former Targaryen is now set to play Constance Lloyd in an upcoming film from Sophie Hyde. Constance Lloyd, in addition to being the wife of renowned author Oscar Wilde, was also a notable feminist activist who fought for women to progress their social attire out of archaic-fashioned dresses.
Variety reports that the film, titled An Ideal Wife, will focus on Lloyd. Although the plot for the film has yet to be revealed, Lloyd was married to author Oscar Wilde in 1884 and birthed two children with him. The activist took part in the women’s dress reform movement of the time, which called for women to be allowed to be dressed in less stifling Victorian-era clothing and more comfortable dresses.

French sales agency Elle Driver is giving a Cannes Market launch to “Kid Snow,” a West Australian-produced tale of redemption set in the 1970s world of tent boxing. Production starts on Monday in Australia’s Goldfields-Esperance region, making it the first feature film to kick off production in the state since its border re-opened.
Boxing tents toured Australia’s small towns from the early 1900s until the 1970s, and were venues where professional fighters faced off against local challengers. The troupes criss-crossed the outback, boasted a carnival-like atmosphere and were places where Indigenous fighters could become heroes.
Penned by writers John Brumpton and Stephen Cleary, the story involves a washed-up Irish boxer named Kid Snow who is finally given a chance to redeem himself when he is offered a rematch against the man he fought a decade prior, on a night that changed his life forever. When Kid Snow meets single mother Sunny,...
