She believed she could save her country during the Hundred Years’ War“.
The casting for the lead role is that of a young woman embodying “the ultimate teenage girl coming-of-age storywhich takes place during the Hundred Years’ War“. Although the star of Beetlejuice 2Jenna Ortega, recently revealed her dream of one day playing the Maid of Orleans (coincidence?…), Internet users would prefer to see Emma Corrin slips into this heroine’s armor.

After various film adaptations, including The Passion of Joan of Arc in 1928 (with Maria Falconetti), Joan of Arc in 1948 (with Ingrid Bergman) and Joan of Arc in 1999 (with Milla Jovovich), The least we can say is that this teenager fascinates the Seventh Art!
