Hooper expressed his fascination for tales that highlight individuals often overlooked, yet significantly impactful, in a statement. He pointed out figures like Lionel Logue from The King’s Speech, Lili Elbe from The Danish Girl, and now Rosalind Franklin, who made the unseen visible with her DNA work, only to be overshadowed by male colleagues and competitors. Hooper is eager to share this captivating narrative of science, competition, betrayal, and redemption, penned by Anna Ziegler, and believes Natalie Portman’s talent will bring Rosalind Franklin to life with her intelligence, intensity, brilliance, and wit. He is excited about collaborating with Natalie, as well as working alongside Leviathan Productions, Red Yes Studio, and FilmNation once more.
