Sony\u2019s TriStar is behind the project, and believes the leadup to Easter Weekend (March 26-28) will be a good launching point for the film, and provide female-centric counter programming against Paramount\u2019s Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which also opens March 19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe news comes days after both Fannings earned Emmy nominations, with Elle Fanning nominated in the lead comedy actress category for Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles, and Dakota Fanning nominated in the supporting actress in a limited series, anthology or movie category for All Her Fault. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe Nightingale tells the story of two sisters separated during World War II as they seek to survive in war-torn Germany and France. It\u2019s long been in the works, with Tristar winning the rights to author Kristin Hannah\u2019s book in 2015 and the Fannings attaching themselves in 2019. Michael Morris directs from Dana Stevens\u2019 script. The Fannings are producing via their Lewellen Pictures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tLast year, Dakota Fanning told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-features\/elle-fanning-predator-badlands-sentimental-value-big-year-1236424260\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that the sisters had received overtures in the past to share the screen together before, but had resisted. (They did play the same character at different ages in 2001\u2019s I Am Sam.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cI think it was nice that we could forge our own paths and have our separate careers and discover ourselves as ourselves when we were younger, and not muddle that.
