RECLUSIVE screen siren Julie Christie is set to star in her first London-based romantic drama since she won an Oscar for Darling in 1965.

Having completed filming for the J. M Barrie biopic Neverland alongside Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, Christie (right) is in talks with producers to star in contemporary drama Idlewild, as the older lover of a promiscuous male hooker to be played by Mission Impossible 2's Dougray Scott. Given that Christie counts Warren Beatty among her old flames, her research into the consequences of getting romantically entangled with a cad need not be too exhaustive.
