LOS ANGELES, May 10 (UPI) -- Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett will co-star in Fox Searchlight's "Notes from a Scandal," Daily Variety reported Tuesday.
The picture is based on the Zoe Heller novel "What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal." Richard Eyre ("Iris") will direct from a screenplay by Patrick Marber ("Closer").
Blanchett will play a free-thinking art teacher who is arrested for having a sexual affair with a 15-year-old student. Dench will play a fellow teacher who has a near-obsessive interest in Blanchett's character.
Blanchett won the Oscar this year for Best Supporting Actress for "The Aviator," and Dench won it in 1998 for her performance as Queen Elizabeth I in "Shakespeare in Love." Coincidentally, Blanchett was nominated for Best Actress the same year, for her performance as The Virgin Queen in "Elizabeth."
