VIDEO : Emma Stone & Nicholas Hoult Will Star In The Favourite

The 'Equals' star is set to join 'La La Land' actress Emma Stone, 28, in the forthcoming biopic about Queen Anne [Olivia Colman] which is directed by filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. Ceci Dempsey from Scarlet Films, Ed Guiney of Element Pictures and Lee Magiday - who worked with Yorgos on 'The Lobster' as producer - will produce the movie and Andrew Lowe, also from Element, is the executive producer. At present, Hoult has just finished production of historical drama 'The Current War', in which he portrays Nikola Tesla and stars alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, giving him plenty of experience for the role in 'The Favourite'.
