Emma Thompson and Stanley Tucci sound like such a perfect on-screen pairing, it's a wonder they haven't worked together before… until now, at least. They’ve just added Ian McEwan adaption The Children Act to a newfound union that’s kicking off with Beauty And The Beast next year.

McEwan’s 2014 novel is a morality tale and marital drama set in the world of family law. Thompson plays High Court judge Fiona Maye, a compassionate arbiter whose workload has caused fractures in her marriage to Tucci’s American professor.
