EXCLUSIVE: The 19 year-old British actress who plays India Hastings, the entitled daughter to Jake Gyllenhaal’s character in Tom Ford’s upcoming Nocturnal Animals is adding to her dance card with Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Pic, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, is a live-action re-telling of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King which was the source material for the classic 1892 ballet scored by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In Disney’s The Nutcracker, one of Clara’s Christmas toys — a Nutcracker doll — comes to life and battles the evil Mouse King with seven heads. Ellie Bamber will play the sister to Mackenzie Foy’s Clara. Bamber also joins Keira Knightley, Morgan Freeman and Misty Copeland in the movie. Bamber is repped by UTA and Curtis Brown Group. She was recently seen in Screen Gems’ Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
