Cate Blanchett to Play Martha Stewart in Biopic Good Thing
By Alexus Mosley
Another day, another casting that just… makes sense. Cate Blanchett is reportedly set to portray lifestyle icon Martha Stewart in an upcoming biopic currently titled Good Thing, a nod to Stewart’s signature phrase, “It’s a good thing.”
According to Variety, the film will be directed by Janicza Bravo, best known for Zola, bringing a sharp, stylized lens to the story of one of lifestyle culture’s most enduring figures. Stewart herself confirmed she’s been “hearing rumors” about the project while attending a New York screening event, meaning the buzz is very real, even if details are still unfolding.
Between her media empire, cultural reinventions, and unmistakable brand of polished perfection, Stewart’s story feels more than ready for the big screen, and Blanchett, known for her transformative roles, might be the perfect choice to bring it to life.
