Helen Keller's biography is planning to shoot the heroine of "A Quiet Place" to join the crew

Millison Simmons will play Helen Keller in the film

1905 Film Network News The British director Walsh Westmoreland, who once shot "Still Alice", has a new film plan to be exposed. It is understood that the director, who is good at shooting biopics, is currently preparing a new biopic film "Helen and the Teacher". The film will focus on the story of Helen Keller and her governess Sullivan.

The film has not yet been started, but the cast has been selected. Millison Simmons, who had a great performance in A Quiet Place, will play Helen Keller in the film, while Rachel Brosnahan will play her teacher Sullivan in the film. According to the producers' plan, the film will tell the story of young Helen instead of telling the story of her childhood. Obviously, for the public, the story of Helen's childhood is familiar to people. But little is known about how she went from being literate and writing to becoming a writer. So, Walsh Westmoreland's plan was to tell Helen's slightly older life story. The screenplay for the film was written by Walsh Westmoreland and Leticia Mikkels.

For this film project, the configuration of both front-of-the-scenes and behind-the-scenes personnel is quite balanced. In particular, It is worth mentioning that Millison Simmons, who plays Helen, is herself a woman with hearing impairments. This is also the first time in film history that a hearing-impaired actor has played the role of Helen. As a famous figure in the inspirational circle, Helen is a woman who has lost her sight and hearing. With the help of her tutor Sullivan, she not only learned to read, but also mastered the ability to write. The two remained close friends until Sullivan's death in 1936.

In the film industry, Helen's story has always been an excellent source of inspiration, of which 1962's "The Creator of Miracles" is the most famous of them. According to the plan, the film will start shooting in the summer of 2022, and the release time is uncertain.
