Emma Thompson is to star in a new movie from an original screenplay by Katy Brand.

In Good Luck to You, Leo Grande Thompson splays a 55-year-old widow looking for "adventure, human connection and good sex", after a stale marriage, reports Variety.

She sets out to change things in her life by hiring twentysomething Leo Grande for a night of fun.

Sophie Hyde is set to direct and production will start in London in early 2021.

Brand retweeted the announcement this afternoon: "I am very happy/excited/amazed this is actually happening! (TLDR I wrote it)."
