First ‘Teardrop Diamond’ still debuts

Rope Of Silicon recently posted a screenshot from Jodie Markell’s upcoming romance “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond,” a film based on a screenplay by Tennessee Williams. In the still above you can see the brilliant Bryce Dallas Howard, who stars as a daughter of a Memphis plantation owner.

After returning home from studying abroad, she falls in love with the poor son of an alcoholic father and a crazy mother. She tries her best to pass him off as a rich suitor to please her aunt, but the sudden loss of a diamond makes the risky relationship even more complicated.

Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and David Strathairn co-star. “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” premieres at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. Click right here to see a bigger version of the image.
