I accidentally landed upon the imdb page for the upcoming film based on Silvia Plath's only novel 'The Bell Jar' . With an unconfirmed release and director, it is set to star Julia Stiles , Rose McGowan , Virginia Madsen with the adaptation being written by Tristine Skyler. Having recently read the semi - autobiographical novel I found it intelligently written , conveying a profound understanding of the illness of depression that had never quite been done before. The Bell Jar follows the struggles of youth , social convention and mental illness through the eyes of promising young woman Esther Greenwood and is both tragic and hopefull. I have not yet viewed the 1979 version but am most certainly looking forward to this release , here is the IMDB page:
