The official facebook page have just released the first image of Gemma Arteron as Tamara Drewe in the movie of the same name. It’s directed by Stephen Frears and is an adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ graphic novel (see it here on Amazon).
Tamara Drewe wil also star Dominic Cooper, Roger Allam, Luke Evans, Bill Camp and Tamsin Greig.
Here’s the production description of the book courtesy of Amazon. I guess we can assume the movie will follow suit:
Amazon Graphic Novel Description: Tamara Drewe has transformed herself. Plastic surgery, a different wardrobe, a smouldering look, have given her confidence and a new and thrilling power to attract, which she uses recklessly. Often just for the fun of it. People are drawn to Tamara Drewe, male and female. In the remote village where her late mother lived Tamara arrives to clear up the house. Here she becomes an object of lust, of envy, the focus of unrequited love, a seductress. To the village teenagers she is ‘plastic-fantastic’, a role model. Ultimately, when her hot and indiscriminate glances lead to tragedy, she is seen as a man-eater, a heartless marriage wrecker, a slut. First appearing as a serial in the “Guardian”, in book form, “Tamara Drewe” has been enlarged, embellished and lovingly improved by the author.
