Samara Weaving

Hollywood actress Samara Weaving will co-star in the upcoming movie 'Chevalier de Saint-Georges' along with Kelvin Harrison Jr. The film will be directed by Stephen Williams based on an original script by Stefani Robinson. 'Chevalier de Saint-Georges' is the real-life period drama on Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, who’s also known as Black Mozart.


Bologne was the illegitimate child of a plantation owner and a slave who was then educated in France and became a fencing master, which also turned out to be his entrée into France’s high society. He ascended to the upper echelons of Marie Antoinette's Paris society with music and opera until a scandal dragged him down.


According to a report by an American entertainment portal, Weaving will essay the role of Marie-Josephine, a woman who seeks creative fulfillment away from her empty, loveless marriage and defies her controlling husband to become the voice of Bologne's opera.
