Far From The Madding Crowd

Mulligan has a couple of really exciting film projects ahead of her this year, and Far From The Madding Crowd is the first where we see her play an incredibly strong female lead.

Far From The Madding Crowd is an adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel and sees Mulligan take on the role of Bathsheba Everdene, while Thomas Vinterberg is in the director's chair.

We have a brand new clip to whet your appetite as Mulligan shows off her singing skills:

Far From The Madding Crowd will mark the first time that Mulligan has teamed up with Vinterberg, while David Nicholls has adapted the novel into a screenplay.

Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Sheen, and Tom Sturridge are on board as potential suitors Gabriel Oak, William Boldwood, and Sergeant Francis Troy, while Juno Temple completes the cast list.

Far From The Madding Crowd is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching wilfulness; Frank Troy (Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor.

This timeless story of Bathsheba's choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love - as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience and perseverance.

Far From The Madding Crowd is out now.
