You may have already seen British model Agyness Deyn on the big screen – the blonde siren played the role of a 1930s courtesan in Mean to Me, Aphrodite in Clash of the Titans, and a rather risqué role as a stripper in Danish crime film Pusher – but now her acting talents will be tested even further having just bagged yet another film role!

The model known for her iconic pixie cut has been booked to star in a film adaptation of the 1932 Scottish novel Sunset Song, by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

Directed by Terence Davies, Deyn will play the film’s female protagonist, a resilient heroine named Chris Guthrie, and will be acting alongside Peter Mullan, who caught the attention of Talent Management earlier in the year with his role in War Horse.

“When I read the script I fell completely in love with the character and the story, I’m so honoured and excited to be working with Terence, he’s such an incredible director,” Deyn told British Vogue. “I can’t wait to get started and just hope that I can do Chris Guthrie justice!”

The team here at the agency love to see a model venture into another area of the entertainment industry so successfully and can’t wait to hear all about the film, which is set to begin production later this year.
