Now here’s a great use for the inherent weirdness of Chloe Sevigny, for the actress has moved into the producer realm as well with an in-the-works miniseries, which shall detail the story of Lizzie Borden, according to Deadline:
Chloe Sevigny, star of the Playtone-produced HBO drama “Big Love,” is tackling another project with the pay-cable network and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s production company, this time on the longform side.
HBO is developing Lizzie Borden, a four-hour miniseries about the infamous story of Lizzie Borden who, in 1893, was acquitted of murdering her overbearing father and step-mother with a hatchet, but was publically condemned. Sevigny, who has been the driving force behind the project, is set to star as Borden as well as co-executive produce. Because of her relationship with Playtone on Big Love, she took the project to Hanks and Goetzman, who are executive producing. Sevigny, repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment, also brought in writer Bryce Kass, who is in the midst of writing the script.
If anyone could pull off this role, it would be Chloe, right? Either that or Eva Green, but she’s just too sensual to play Lizzie Borden. So yes, Chloe the weirdo.

Essential reading: “The Fall River Axe Murders” by Angela Carter, a writer who could do more with a short story than most writers could do in an entire novel
