Rising star Lily-Rose Depp has joined the cast of Stephanie Di Giusto’s directorial debut “The Dancer,” a 19th-century drama based on the life of American performer Loie Fuller.
Depp will topline as Isadora Duncan, a San Francisco native who grew up in poverty and became a dance prodigy, quickly achieving worldwide fame. She had a crucial role in the life of Fuller, who will be interpreted by French musician-turned-thesp Soko. Fuller, who was born in rural America, pioneered the Serpentine dance and turned out to achieve international recognition at the turn of the 20th century.
The movie – penned by Di Giusto, Thomas Bidegain (“The Cowboys,” “Dheepan”) and Sarah Thiebaud — will chronicle Fuller’s fateful relationship with Duncan.
The high-profile international cast also comprises Gaspard Ulliel (“Saint Laurent), Melanie Thierry (“The Zero Theorem”), Francois Damiens (“Heartbreaker”) and Louis-Do du Lencquesaing (“Taj Mahal”).
