Overview
- At a Cannes masterclass Sunday, Cate Blanchett said she was about to work with Corbet, and Variety confirmed she and Selena Gomez are set as Michael Fassbender negotiates to join.
- Corbet has described the film as a genre-defying story that spans the 19th century to today with a heavy 1970s focus.
- He says it explores American mysticism and the occult, and he has consulted historian Mitch Horowitz to ground the research.
- Reports cite a 200-page script, a 50-day shoot planned in two blocks, and a rare eight-perf 65mm film format.
- Producers David Kaplan and Andrew Morrison are attached under Kaplan Morrison, and the project is drawing interest after The Brutalist’s awards run despite no title or release plan yet.
