Toni Collette to Star in 'A French Pursuit', a Comedy-Drama Directed by Catherine Hardwicke

The film, an English adaptation of the French hit 'Antoinette Dans Les Cévennes', is set to begin shooting in late spring.

Toni Collette will portray Zoe Turner, a British art teacher on a journey of self-discovery in the South of France.
The narrative follows Zoe's comedic and challenging adventures with a donkey named Napoleon as her companion.
'A French Pursuit' marks the third collaboration between Collette, Hardwicke, and producer Christopher Simon.
The screenplay, adapted by BAFTA-nominated Olivia Hetreed, promises a heartwarming and whimsical tale.
HanWay Films is handling worldwide distribution rights, taking the project to the European Film Market in Berlin.
