Tatiana Maslany in talks to play one person in David Gordon Green’s Stronger
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany is “in early negotiations” to join Stronger, the Boston Marathon bombing movie directed by David Gordon Green. Stronger is based on a book of the same name by Jeff Bauman, who was standing at the finish line waiting for his girlfriend when the bombs went off, causing him to lose both of his legs. Jake Gyllenhaal will play Bauman, and Maslany—if she takes the part—will play Erin Hurley, the girlfriend. (Unlike a certain website that reports on Hollywood, we looked up the woman’s name so we could avoid having to say “Maslany will play the girlfriend, the movie’s female lead,” which seems weirdly dismissive.)
