For years, we've watched sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning starring in TV and movies. But in all the time we've seen them, they've never starred opposite each other. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to see them together in a movie, now's your chance. The Fanning sisters are going to be starring in a movie together. They'll be starring in the film adaptation of Kristin Hannah's novel The Nightingale.

The Nightingale is about two sisters coming of age in France as World War II is beginning. They must struggle to survive and resist the German occupation of their country. The story was inspired by the real women of the French Resistance who hid Jewish children and helped downed Allied airmen escape Nazi territory.

“The Nightingale will be the first time we act on screen together. We have played the same character at different ages but have never spoken to each other in front of a camera. For years, we have looked for a film to do with one another and then this gem appeared," the Fanning sisters said in a statement released to The Hollywood Reporter. "As sisters, to share our artistry with each other while bringing such a powerful sister story to life is a dream come true. We are so lucky to have our fearless director, Melanie Laurent, to guide us along on the journey. Let’s do this, sister!!”

Melanie Laurent, the film's director, worked with Elle Fanning on the the movie Galveston. As young children, the sisters played the same character in the movie I Am Sam, which was released in 2001. Over the years, Elle and Dakota, who are both in their 20s now, have been each other's biggest champions and supporters.

Earlier this year, Dakota explained the closeness of their relationship to Shape, saying "“We always have been [close.] We’re very different, but we’re very connected,” she said. “We don’t talk every day, but we don’t have to. We just have that special bond."

She then added, “There’s no one I want to succeed more in this business than my sister, and I know she wants the same for me.” Even if Elle did boycott watching Dakota's guest appearance on the show Friends because she lost out on the role of one of Phoebe's triplets. That's just how sisterhood is sometimes!

As of right now, The Nightingale doesn't have a release date, but we're very excited for it!
