Actor Michelle Williams is set to star opposite Julianne Moore in "After the Wedding" remake.
Bart Freundlich is directing the film from his own script, reported Variety.
The movie is based on the 2006 Oscar-nominated film of the same name directed by Susanne Bier and starring Mads Mikkelsen.
Joel B Michaels and Silvio Muraglia are producing the remake.
The new film follows the director of an Indian orphanage on the verge of bankruptcy, who discovers that her organisation is in contention to receive a large charitable donation from a wealthy American businesswoman, forcing her to travel to New York City, where she is confronted by a past she tried to forget.
The movie will start production next month.
