Dakota Fanningand Elle Fanningare ready for their greatest reunion yet.

The Uptown Girls star and The Great actress will take their sister bond to a new level, as they are set to conquer new territory: starring alongside each other in a movie. 

“For the first time ever, sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning are set to star in a film together,” Sony Pictures announced July 22 in a joint Instagram post with the sisters, “in the adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s global book phenomenon The Nightingale.”

Dakota, 31, and Elle, 27, will also produce the movie with their company Lewellen Pictures, alongside Hello Sunshine, the production company founded by Reese Witherspoon, and The Cantillon Company. Reese had also picked the international best-selling book—which follows two sisters in France during World War II—for her Reese’s Book Club in 2023.

The film is currently scheduled to be released by TriStar Pictures in February 2027.

Though the Fanning sisters both appeared in the 2001 movie I Am Sam, Elle played a younger version of Dakota’s character Lucy, and the pair didn’t appear in scenes together. As a result, The Nightingale will mark their first time sharing the screen. 

When it comes to both sisters working in the same industry since they were young, Dakota explained that her relationship with Elle has always been in a good place.

"We have a very playful relationship, but we're not competitive," the elder sister told E! News last May. "We were never competitive growing up." 

Acknowledging that they "obviously have similarities," the Man on Fire actress added, "We have really different personalities too, so I think that's also helpful. We like different things."

As for how Dakota and Elle’s relationship will fare on the Nightingale set? It’s safe to say it’ll only make them closer. 

"I definitely just feel fortunate to have a sister period," Dakota continued to E!. "And then to have a sister that fully understands every aspect of my life brings a sense of calm that I don't even know that I have a full understanding of just because it has always been the way that it is."

She concluded, "Just being able to have an understanding of what each other are going through and not having to explain certain things—it's very nice."

Ahead of The Nightingale’s 2027 release, read on for more movies that focus on sisterhood.
