Diane English, the woman who adapted
the forthcoming film The Women
, is adapting Erica Jong's classic feminist novel Fear of Flying
for the movies. Flying's
heroine, Isadora Wing, is a poet in a marginally unhappy marriage who indulges in a number of sexually freeing affairs while at a psychiatry conference with her shrink husband in Vienna. English, who is also directing Flying
, tells E!
that she wants Kate Winslet to play Isadora. Kate Winslet coining the zipless fuck? Something about that doesn't sit quite right with us — Winslet seems not introspective enough and a little vanilla for Isadora — so we figured out a few alternatives. Vote on your favorite after the jump.
