British actor Janet Montgomery has landed a starring role as a young Faye Dunaway in Jonathan Baker’s supernatural love story “Fate,” a film that is shooting in Vancouver for Baker Entertainment.

The film will toggle between a yesteryear version of the character (Montgomery) and a present-day incarnation (Dunaway), spanning much of the protagonist’s entire lifetime. “Fate” revolves around a firefighter (Brandon Routh) who connects with a stranger from the past Tilly (Montgomery) while he’s healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul — his realization of true love, according to a producer’s logline.

Highland Film Group is selling rights to the $10 million film, which also stars Harvey Keitel, at the Cannes Marche.

Dunaway is on the ground in Cannes, where HBO screened the much-anticipated biographical documentary “Faye.”

Montgomery was cast out of hundreds of actors vying for the role.
