Elle Fanning and
Dakota Fanning's upcoming movie 'The Nightingale' has been postponed by a year due to the coronavirus outbreak. The film, directed by actor
Melanie Laurent, was expected to debut this year but its production was halted in the wake of the pandemic.
According to media source, the movie will now release on December 22, 2021.
The story focuses on two sisters coming-of-age in France on the eve of World War II and their struggle to survive and resist the German occupation of France.
It was inspired by the courageous women of the French Resistance who helped downed Allied airmen escape Nazi-occupied territory and hid Jewish children.
