AceShowbiz - Elle Fanning has shed some light on what to expect from her upcoming raunchy movie titled "The Beguiled". Speaking to Page Six, she said that she "just finished 'The Beguiled', first film Sofia Coppola's made in a few years" which also stars Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Colin Farrell.
"It's set in the Civil War era. A soldier from the North hides in a girls' school in the South. My period clothes had so many tiny, tiny buttons, so small I could not dress alone. I had to be careful I didn't rip any," the 18-year-old actress continued to spill the beans about the remake of Clint Eastwood's movie from 1971. "And there's lots of sex in this movie."
"The Beguiled" is based on 1966 Southern Gothic novel by Thomas P. Cullinan titled "A Painted Devil". "While imprisoned in a Confederate girls' boarding school, an injured Union soldier cons his way into each of the lonely women's hearts, causing them to turn on each other, and eventually, on him," so reads the synopsis.
The upcoming western movie is also written by Coppola, who won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for Best Director for 2003's comedy drama "Lost in Translation". Coming to U.S. theaters this year on June 30, "The Beguiled" is also supported by Oona Lawrence and Angourie Rice.
