Nixon Displays A Quiet Passion For Dickinson

Former "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon is attached to play reclusive poet Emily Dickinson in the biopic "A Quiet Passion" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film follows Dickinson's life from precocious school girl to tortured recluse who saw only seven of her 1,000+ poems published in her lifetime. Following her death though, Dickinson was recognized as one of the greatest American poets of all time.

 British director Terence Davies ("Of Time and the City") wrote the script and will call the shots.

Sol Papadopoulos and Roy Boulter will produce the film.
