'King's Speech' film-makers are interested in collaborating once again to develop a historical drama about Lady Hester Stanhope.

Bedlam Productions is in pre-production on 'The Lady Who Went Too Far,' a feature film based on a biography of the plucky aristocrat, often know as "Florence of Arabia," who has been dubbed as one of the "most pioneering women in history," the Independent reported.

Gareth Unwin of Bedlam said shooting of the project, written by Kirsten Ellis, will start in 2016. The title role has been offered to a "well-known" actress, but her name has been kept under wraps.
