Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs will lead an upcoming film adaptation of Raynor Winn's memoir The Salt Path, Deadline reports. Tony and Oliver Award-winning director Marianne Elliott will make her screen-directing debut helming the film.
The Salt Path is the true story of a couple who lost everything and embarked on a transformative journey walking the South West Coast Path in England.
Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, is terminally ill, their house and farm are taken away, along with their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, through Devon and Cornwall.
Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea, and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable and life-affirming journey.
Anderson and Issacs will portray Raynor and her husband Moth.
