Set in 1867 Paris, the story revolves around a young woman named Therese (Olsen) forced into an arranged marriage with her sickly first cousin Camille (Felton). She soon begins a turbulent affair with Laurent, a friend of her husband, and the pair plot to murder Camille. They succeed, but the couple is soon haunted by the ghost of the dead husband - ultimately poisoning their love into a hatred of each other.
Close plays Madame Raquin, Therese's aunt and Camille's mother.
Laurent and Madame Raquin's friend Michaud have not been cast yet.
Charlie Stratton wrote the adapted script and will direct the film as a "dark and erotic thriller".
