The film is based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Elizabeth Jane Howard centres on the famous London playwright Emmanuel and his sickly wife Lillian – who has never truly buried the memory of the couple’s late daughter Sarah.
The pair’s rocky marriage then takes a surprise turn when they travel to a remote Greek island.
It is assumed that Scarlett will be playing Lillian but details for her role are yet to be confirmed.
Kristin first announced her intention to direct and star in ‘The Sea Change’ in 2017. Mark Strong and Anya Taylor-Joy were in talks to co-star but the project never materialized.
Rebecca Lenkiewicz wrote the script for the film and Thorston Schumacher is serving as the movie’s producer.

In an interview with Collider, the JoJo Rabbit star explained why she wanted to lean into the production side of things.
‘I have worked for 30 years, which is insane when I say it out loud,’ the actress stated, ‘but I think I just understand the efficiency of how productions run and how you thin the fat on a production and make things well oiled.’
