LOS ANGELES - The Weinstein Company has acquired North American rights to Miss Potter, which stars Renee Zellweger as children's author Beatrix Potter.
Production is underway in the UK. Also on board are Ewan McGregor and Emily Watson. Chris Noonan directs in his follow-up to the 1995 hit Babe.
Miss Potter follows Potter's struggles to overcome a domineering, unsupportive mother and the chauvinism of Victorian England to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
