British actress Sophia Myles will star with James Franco in the 20th Century Fox/Franchise Pictures period romance Tristan & Isolde, which Kevin Reynolds is directing for studio-based Scott Free. Fox is distributing "Tristan" domestically, with Franchise financing and handling foreign territories.
Set in medieval Britain and Ireland, "Tristan" is an adaptation of the romantic myth about doomed young lovers. It follows Tristan (Franco), an English knight who attempts to unite England by winning the hand of the Irish king's daughter, Isolde (Myles). The knight falls in love with the future queen, but she is already married to another. Their affair threatens the future of Britain.
Dean Georgaris wrote the script for the project.
