Dakota Fanning on the Set of New Period Film 'Effie'

Dakota Fanning is currently in Venice, Italy shooting the movie Effie, set in Victorian times



The film tells the story of the lead character, Euphemia 'Effie' Gray, and her relationship with her Victoria art critic husband.

Dakota, who was earlier this year embroiled in controversy after her perfume advertisement for Marc Jacobs was banned in the UK for 'sexualising a child,' plays the tile character in the film.





It follows the tale of the disastrous marriage of art critic John Ruskin (Wise) and his teenage wife Effie Gray.

Effie is driven into the arms of Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais, played by Sienna Miller's boyfriend Tom Sturridge, when Ruskin refuses to consummate the marriage.

Thompson, who won an Oscar for her screenplay of Sense and Sensibility, wrote the script for Effie, which has just been filming mainly in Scotland and London so far.
