Brie Larson Set To Play First Woman Presidential Candidate in VICTORIA WOODHULL

Brie Larson has been tapped to star in a film about the nation's first female presidential candidate in Victoria Woodhull. THR tells us the project has been picked up by Amazon and will focus on the candidacy of Victoria Woodhull, who ran for President in 1872. Woodhull obviously didn't win, and wasn't even able to vote for herself at the time, but served as a women's suffrage activist when few were joining her cause.

No release date on the film, but it sounds like something that will be cool to watch! I can't imagine being that far ahead of my time in supporting something that is so commonplace now. Maybe I need to start advocating fringe stuff in hopes I get a movie one day down the line.
