Overview
- Variety confirmed Sunday, after Blanchett’s Cannes remark that she is “about to work with Brady Corbet,” that she has been cast in his next feature as Michael Fassbender negotiates to join.
- Trade coverage links Selena Gomez to the film, with The InSneider first reporting her involvement and Variety citing her alongside Blanchett and Fassbender.
- Corbet has described the project as an X-rated, genre-blending epic set largely in the 1970s that spans from the 19th century to the present and plans to use rare eight-perf 65mm cameras.
- He has outlined a large build: a roughly 200-page script and a 50-day shoot structured as two 25-day blocks, with David Kaplan and Andrew Morrison producing under their Kaplan Morrison banner.
- Key details remain unconfirmed, including the title—rumored as The Origin of the World—plus distributor, start date, and release plan, as Corbet leverages momentum from The Brutalist’s awards success.
