Watch: What has changed the most for Reese Witherspoon since having her last baby?
Rosamund is a very interesting choice—she's less well-known, especially in the U.S., which may make it easier for her to disappear into the role. Lots of major Hollywood names were being thrown around for the film, including Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron. Fellow A-list lady Reese Witherspoon is currently set to produce. Fancy times for this flick!
