Ifans And Jones Up For Sarena

Rhys Ifans is in talks while Toby Jones is set to join the period drama Serena says Variety.

Based upon author Ron Rash's 2008 novel the action takes place in 1929 North Carolina, the story follows two young newlyweds, George and Serena Pemberton (Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence), who are building a timber empire and aren't afraid to kill or destroy those who oppose them. The pair soon turn against each other when Serena learns she can't bear children and launches a deadly vendetta against her husband's illegitimate son.
