Glenn Close will reprise her stage role in The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs in a new movie, which she has adapted for the big screen.
The actress played Nobbs in the costume drama in 1982 and won an Obie Award for her brief off-Broadway stage stint.
She's now working on the George Moore tale and has recruited Orlando Bloom, Michael Gambon, and Janet McTeer to join her in the film version.
Filmmaker Rodrigo Garcia will direct the project, which is set to start shooting in July (10). Close will also produce the film.
The plot revolves around a 19th Century Irish woman who disguises herself as a man in order to make a success of her life.
The actress hasn't appeared on the big screen since her role in Evening back in 2007 as she has concentrated on TV.
After the success of The Shield she has moved onto legal drama Damages, in which she plays Patty Hewes.
She won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series in 2007 and was nominated again this year.
