The Works dresses for Cannes with farce Of Corset's Mine

The Works International has boarded UK period-comedy Of Corset’s Mine, starring William Moseley, Camilla Belle, Sir Derek Jacobi, Christine Baranski and Lucy Punch.

The cross-dressing romantic-farce about a womanising aristocrat forced to disguise himself as a woman to save his sister’s inheritance will be directed by actor-director Jason Connery from a script by Sharon Soboil.

Producers are Reynolds Entertainment, Narrator Entertainment and Fantastic Films.

Clare Crean, head of international sales for The Works International said of the project: “Of Corset’s Mine is one of the liveliest and funniest scripts we have read and we are thrilled to be working with Jason, and producers Kelley Reynolds and Jasper Graham.”
