Filming has already begun on Yorgos Lanthimos’ “AND” in New Orleans, Louisiana. Production is dated to end in December. There have been sightings of Cinematographer Robbie Ryan on the set.
This would be Ryan’s third collaboration with the Greek auteur. He already shot Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” and “The Favourite.” The Irish-born Ryan has worked with the likes of Andrea Arnold, Sally Potter, Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Noah Baumbach, and Mike Mills.
Ryan is known to shoot very evocative imagery via wide-angled lensing and fluid camerawork. His works feels very raw and grainy, shot entirely on film. It’s this sort of cinematic realism that invades the frames of “The Favourite,” “The Meyerowitz Stories,” “Fish Tank,” and “I, Daniel Blake.”
Plot details have been kept under wraps, but it is being speculated that “AND”, co-written by Efthymis Filippou (The Lobster, The Killing of A Sacred Deer), will tell three separate stories; each letter representing a different tale. As for “Poor Things,” we’re not entirely sure why it wasn’t released this year, but Searchlight most certainly has its eyes set on a 2023 date.
