Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer will star opposite Mel Gibson and Sean Penn in The Professor and the Madman, Icon Productions'adaptation of Simon Winchester’s best-seller about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Farhad Safinia, who wrote Gibson’s Apocalypto, is directing the project, which Gibson has been trying to get off the ground since 1998. Eighteen years later, it’s about to happen, as principal photography begins in late September.
Voltage is repping the international rights and will be selling the film at TIFF. Gibson is producing with Bruce Davey.
Gibson will play Professor James Murray, who in 1857 set about compiling the OED, one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. Penn will play Dr. W.C. Minor, who submitted more than 10,000 entries but also was an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.
Dormer will play a widow whose husband was killed by Penn and whose family he wants to help. A complicated romance ensues.
Dormer’s run on Game of Thrones where she played Queen Margaery Tyrell recently ended and the actress will soon start production on the indie psychological revenge thriller In Darkness, which she also co-wrote with the film’s director Anthony Bryne. Emily Ratajkowski, Ed Skrein and Stacy Martin co-star.
Dormer is represented by Untitled Entertainment, UTA, United Agents, and Jackoway Tyerman.

Voltage does not accept unsolicited Submissions for motion pictures, television programs, web sites or other products or services.

However, if you decide to make any such unsolicited Submission, you hereby grant to Voltage the right and license to your Submission as set forth in Section 3(b) below. (b) Rights You Grant to Us. Whenever you Submit a Submission to a User Forum or some other aspect of the Site or directly to Voltage (including by e-mail) you: (1) grant to Voltage and its affiliates an irrevocable worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual, fully sub-licensable and assignable, royalty-free right and license to use, exploit, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, incorporate in other works, and otherwise create derivative works from, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, perform, display, and otherwise exercise all rights in and to such Submission (including the right to use or not use your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information in connection therewith), via the Site or otherwise, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, without any compensation to you, and (2) consent to all relevant acts or omissions in relation to your moral rights in such Submission (if any) which may or might otherwise constitute a breach or infringement of those moral rights, and to the extent permitted by law waive all your moral rights in such Submission, even if such material is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.

You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Voltage is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to Submit any Submission to a User Forum or otherwise send it to the Site or to Voltage directly does not place Voltage in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Submissions.
