Lizzie Borden is coming back to the spotlight with the upcoming film Lizzie. The film stars Chloë Sevigny as Lizzie herself, and Kristen Stewarts at the housemaid Bridget Sullivan.  The film also stars Jamey Sheridan, Fiona Shaw, Kim Dickens, Denis O’Hare and Jeff Perry.

Here’s the official synopsis from Saban Films and Roadside attractions:

Academy Award® nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don’t Cry, “Big Love”) stars as Lizzie Borden, the notorious woman at the heart of one of the most enduring mysteries in American history. After a lifetime of loneliness, Lizzie finds a kindred spirit in housemaid Bridget Sullivan (Kristen Stewart) and their secret intimacy sparks an unthinkable act. Director Craig William Macneill (The Boy (2015), “Channel Zero: Candle Cove”) explores the days leading up to the savage crimes in a dark tale of repression, exploitation and thwarted dreams.

Lizzie comes to theaters September 14, 2018
