New Nabokov Movie


VARIETY reports John Turturro (Quiz Show) and Emily Watson (Hilary &
Jackie) will star in THE LUZHIN DEFENSE, an adaptation of Vladimir
Nabokov's novel. Set in the 1930s, the romantic drama involves a
charmless chess grandmaster (Turturro) who meets a beautiful young woman
(Watson) while on vacation. Marleen Gorris (Antonia's Line) is set to
begin production on the Peter Berry-scripted film this October.
