Cate Blanchett is, naturally, one of the most versatile actresses on our screens. But for all of her incredible roles, from scheming grifter Lou in Oceans 8 to her Oscar-nominated performance in LGBTQ* period film Carol, we do have a soft spot for her darker roles.

The novel, which was published in 2015, is sure to provide a fiendishly-twisting base for a pulse-raising psychological thriller. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Disclaimer revolves around Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett), a respected TV documentary journalist whose work has been built on revealing the concealed transgressions of long-respected institutions. When a novel, The Perfect Stranger, written by a widower (played by Kevin Kline) appears on her bedside table, she is horrified to realise she is a key character in a story that reveals her darkest secret she has kept buried for 20 years. It’s all sounding very Gone Girl indeed, and we like what we’re hearing.
