Jamie Dornan to Play Titular Role in Biographical Film The Secret History of the Pink Carnation

Jamie Dornan has been cast in the titular role of the upcoming biographical film The Secret History of the Pink Carnation. The film is based on the novel series of the same name by Lauren Willig, and it tells the story of Emily Wilding Davison, a British suffragette who was killed by King George V's horse while protesting at the 1913 Epsom Derby.

Dornan will play William Reginald Blewitt, a wealthy Englishman who was Davison's lover and confidant. Blewitt was also a member of the Pink Carnation, a secret society of suffragettes who fought for women's rights through daring and often illegal acts of protest.

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation is being directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, the German filmmaker who is best known for his Academy Award-nominated film Downfall. The film is scheduled to begin filming in early 2023, and it is expected to be released in theaters in 2024.

Dornan's casting in The Secret History of the Pink Carnation is a coup for the film. Dornan is a rising star in Hollywood, and he has already proven his ability to play complex and challenging roles in films such as Fifty Shades of Grey and Belfast. He is sure to bring both depth and nuance to the role of William Reginald Blewitt.

The film is also expected to be a must-see for fans of the Pink Carnation novels. Willig's books are known for their historical accuracy and their complex and well-developed characters. The Secret History of the Pink Carnation promises to be a faithful adaptation of the novels, and it is sure to give audiences a fascinating glimpse into the world of the suffragettes.
