The film directed by Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, The Voices) will be dedicated to the life and fundamental scientific discoveries of the researcher, awarded in 1903 of the Nobel Prize in physics for his studies on radiation and in 1911 of the Nobel Prize in chemistry, for his discovery of radium and polonium.
To play the role of Marie Curie we will find the English actress Rosamunde Pike, already known for her performances in films like Liar Love and A Private War.
The biopic was written by Jack Thorne based on the biography edited by Lauren Redniss, Radioactive and will be released exclusively on-demand starting from next July 15, 2020 on the main VOD platforms.
It will also be available for four weeks on: Sky, Timvision, Chili, Google Play, Youtube, Rakuten, Huawei Video and Infinity.
To support Rosamunde Pike, we will find Sam Clafin (Peaky Blinders) in the role of the beloved husband and scientist Pierre Curie, Aneurin Barnard (The goldfinch, Dunkirk) in the role of her lover and Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch) in those of the young Irene, daughter of Marie Curie.
Radioactive had been previewed already in September as a closing film at the Toronto International Film Festival and Amazon had planned to release it in the United States in April, to then cancel that date due to the pandemic of COVID-19 and definitively move the appointment to the July 24.
Compared to the Italian one, the official USA trailer begins with the Pike / Cure which, in a packed classroom, closes its students:
“I Want to talk about Radio, an item very unique and amazing because it does not behave as it should.” In another scene, the determined scientist Polish and naturalized French citizen is trying to mix chemicals in a laboratory, while the voice-over says: “The science is changing, and the same people who run the science are the same who believe that the world is flat and I prove to them that they are wrong.” You would like to know better, Rosamunde Pike, the british actress who plays the physics and chemistry Marie Curie? Then don't miss her interpretation in Gone Girl ( The love of a liar ) by David Fincher.
