Hollywood actress Cynthia Erivo will star in the remake of the 1979 musical drama ‘The Rose’.
The original featured Bette Midler in the20th Century Fox production as a self-destructive female rock star who struggles to deal with the constant pressures of her career and the demands of those around her. The new project will be a contemporary take on the high price of fame.
The remake is bankrolled by Searchlight Pictures which will produce along with Erivo and Solome Williams via their Edith’s Daughter banner.
