Andrew Haigh has completed production on his next film, this one is titled “Strangers.”
The 49-year-old Brit is riding high on his last three critically-acclaimed films (Weekend, 45 Years, Lean on Pete). This latest one stars Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell.
“Strangers” follows screenwriter Adam (Scott) who, one night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, has a chance encounter with his mysterious neighbor Harry (Mescal) that punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As Adam and Harry get closer, Adam is pulled back to his childhood home where he discovers that his long-dead parents (Foy and Bell) are both living and look the same age as the day they died over 30 years ago.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
