Emma Stone and Alicia Vikander set for rival Agatha Christie biopics

I don't know about these projects.  There have been biopics floating around for years that aren't supported by the estate, and who knows what will happen to these potential films.

Thanks @GKCfan! What I found odd was that the article stated they wanted to portray her 'in her formative years as a “proto-feminist” unhappy with traditional wife-and-mother expectations'. An odd choice, in my opinion, since nothing about her really suggests proto-feminism (though feminism was known in her era, under a different name, yes - proto-feminist would be the wrong choice of words). And I don't think traditional expectations of her worried her very much!
Though I do want to see a biopic of Agatha Christie, I would seriously suggest sticking to the facts (obtained from her autobiography, as well as Sir Mallowan's, or her occasional diaries and notebooks. Her Mary Westmacotts also may be quite useful)

HerculeAndAchille!  We'll see what happens with these projects.  They might be further away from production than this article indicates.
