Titanic star Kate Winslet has emerged as the favourite to play protagonist Isadora Wing of a 1973 bestseller.

Directed by Diane English, the movie is an adaptation of Erica Jong’s controversial novel “Fear of Flying” (1973).

English revealed that Winslet is the only actress currently reading the script for the movie.

“I would love to see Kate Winslet in that role,” she said.

Jong hit the headlines with the novel because it chronicles a married woman’s attempts to live out her sexual fantasies.
