“The Housekeeper,” the upcoming romance fictionalizing the inspiration behind Daphne du Maurier’s iconic novel “Rebecca,” has now wrapped production, with producers revealing a first look from the film, billed as a a “tale of forbidden love, obsession, and a household where the past refuses to let go.”

From multi-award-winning director Sir Richard Eyre (“The Children Act,” “Notes on a Scandal”), “The Housekeeper” stars two-time Oscar and four-time BAFTA winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (“The Father,” “The Silence of the Lambs”), BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter (“The Crown,” “One Life”), BAFTA and Golden Globe nominee Caitríona Balfe (“Belfast,” “Ford v Ferrari”) and rising star Emma Laird (“The Brutalist,” “28 Years Later”). It was written by bestselling author Dame Rose Tremain, based on her own short story and forthcoming novel, which is scheduled for publication by Penguin Random House UK and HarperCollins US this autumn. Filming took place at Knebworth House, on the Cornish coast, and at Leavesden Studios.
