Director Baz Luhrmann is set to helm a new biopic titled "Jehanne d'Arc," focusing on the life of Joan of Arc, a young French peasant who led armies during the Hundred Years' War. The film, backed by Warner Bros, will portray her as a coming-of-age figure and national icon. Casting is underway, with actress Jenna Ortega being a potential lead.
