UK filmmaker James Lucas is set to direct Kate Moss biographical drama feature Moss & Freud, with UK and US-based Cornerstone handling worldwide sales.

GFC Films produced the film set largely around British artist Lucian Freud Holland Park studio who is behind the well-acclaimed nude portrait of the model that sold for almost £4 million. The story explores Freud’s mysterious past and Moss’s life as a supermodel as well as their intense relationship.

Lucas is best known for directing short film The Phone Call, starring Sally Hawkins, and Jim Broadbent which won an Oscar in 2015.

Matthew Metcalfe (McLaren, Dean Spanley, 6 Days) will produce the feature and Kate Moss will serve as executive producer with the support of the Lucian Freud Archive.
