Get ready to be scandalized all over again, so-called fancy society: According to Deadline, D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover is getting a new adaptation from The Mustang’s Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre and Life Of Pi screenwriter David Magee, with Emma Corrin (fresh off of starring in The Crown, which also scandalized fancy British society) starring. The original book, published back in the ‘20s, is about an upperclass British woman whose cold and neglectful husband is paralyzed from the waist down due to a war injury, forcing her to seek solace in the arms of a lover (in the parlance of the title) who happens to be a regular working class dude.
