First Look: Elizabeth Olsen Gives a Glimpse of Erotic Thriller Therese Raquin

Elizabeth Olsen looks modestly dressed in her Victorian-era full-length dresses and hats for her role in the erotic thriller Therese Raquin , which she is currently filming in Budapest, Hungary. Olsen plays the title character Therese Raquin in this project, directed by Charlie Stratton and also starring Harry Potter ‘s Tom Felton and Jessica Lange. Her character is apparently forced into a loveless marriage with her sickly cousin Camille, played by Fenton. Young, beautiful and sexually repressed, Therese casts off innocence for a sizzling affair with her husband’s best friend Laurent, played by Drive actor Oscar Isaac. Needless to say, her dress gets ripped off on numerous occasions, according to The Daily Mail , which featured a number of photos of Olsen on set. Lange plays Therese’s controlling aunt, Madame Raquin, and the story crescendos as Therese’s dalliances with Laurent produces disastrous outcomes. “Some of the film’s themes will include the subjects of imprisonment and punishment, temperament and the human animal,” noted The Daily Mail. Olsen, 23, won praise last year for her starring role in Sundance indie Martha Marcy May Marlene and she will be seen this week in the Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener starrer Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding , which opens Friday.

Soon people will have to start calling Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen ” Elizabeth Olsen ‘s older sisters.” 2011 has been a breakout year for the willowy young actress- she’s already getting awards buzz for her performance in the psychological drama Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011), and now she’s signed on to appear in another type of awards bait- the costume drama. Elizabeth is set to star as the tit-ular character in Therese Raquin , about a young girl forced into a loveless marriage by her overbearing aunt (played by Glenn Close ), the result of which is a bosom-heaving, bodice-ripping knockout of an extramarital affair.The film is being described as a “dark, erotic thriller” (our favorite kind!) and will shoot in the spring. Therese Raquin has been adapted for the screen once before, in a 1980 BBC miniseries that featured Kate Nelligan nude, so here’s hoping that Elizabeth follows in Kate’s footsteps and rips off that bodice post haste. Mr. Skin members can see Elizabeth Olsen ‘s twins in action on our Martha Marcy May Marlene page!
