Courtney Love is set to appear in new psychological thriller 'A Midsummer's Nightmare', based on Shakespeare’s play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
The modern day adaptation will see Courtney dwelling in the woods as she helps to torment four lovers, who planned a trip into the forest on a summer getaway, Variety reports.
Daisy Head (‘Guilt’), Jake Robinson (‘American Odyssey’) and Dominic Monaghan (‘Lost’) are also set to star. The crew will include co-executive producers Jeff Kwatinetz and Josh Barry.
Liz Gateley, executive vice president and head of programming for Lifetime, previously spoke about the show’s pilot.
Courtney –who was previously married to rock legend Kurt Kobain- is not new to the big screen.
In recent years, she starred in ‘Sons of Anarchy’, ‘Revenge’ and ‘Empire’. She also received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in 1996′s ‘The People vs. Larry Flynt’ in which she played stripper, Althea Leasure Flynt.
Talking about the movie, the 52-year-old musician said: "We’re really taking big swings at Lifetime and developing content that redefines what it means to be a Lifetime show. ‘A Midsummer’s Nightmare’ is unlike anything Lifetime has ever done before."
