Director Lynne Ramsay will adapt the Margaret Atwood story “Stone Mattress”, with Julianne Moore and Sandra Oh set to star.
We were wondering when this one would start production, it was originally set for a September date, but then Moore signed on for Todd Haynes’ “May/December,” and then its December shoot was postponed.
Ramsay is now telling Screen Daily that the aim is to shoot in Iceland later this year. Amazon will produce the film, which is said to be be a revenge thriller.
There is no doubt that Ramsay will want to aim for a Cannes 2024 series premiere much like she did with her last film, 2018’s “You Were Never Really Here.”
Moore will play the role of Verna (Moore), who embarks on a luxurious cruise in the Arctic Northwest Passage. It’s on this cruise ship that she meets two characters, friendly and charming Grace (Oh), and the shy but mysterious Bob, an unaccompanied man in his mid-sixties who inherited a family business.
Ramsay is the maverick director behind “Ratcatcher,” We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Morven Callar,” and the aforementioned “You Were Never Really Here.” Anything she does should be payed attention to.
