The Hollywood movie is set to be produced by Ocean’s Eleven director Steven Soderbergh, while The Hunger Games' Gary Ross will take helm as director.

Speaking about the prospect of starring in the upcoming production, British actress Helena recently teased: "It's a great script, and it's great for women. Just hilarious."

"When everyone says, 'Well, most characters in commercial films can just as easily be played by a woman', well, I can tell you it's true," she added when speaking to Entertainment Weekly. "That's what they've just done with this."
