Although Julianne Moore had recently hinted that she might be shooting Lynne Ramsay’s “Stone Mattress” at the end of 2024, it might not actually be Ramsay’s next film.
Yesterday, Ramsay was at the Icelandic Film Center and told Variety that she has three scripts ready, but will first be shooting “Die, My Love,” with Jennifer Lawrence set to star in the film.
“Die, My Love” is an adaptation of a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz and is being described as a stark tale set in rural France of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood. Martin Scorsese is also set to produce the film.
Lawrence had previously described the novel as reading “like Sylvia Plath, especially because it's about a woman suffering from postpartum and cycling into madness.”
Other projects percolating in the mix for Ramsay include “Polaris,” starring Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, and the aforementioned “Stone Mattress” with Moore, Kyle Chandler and Sandra Oh. Ramsay also told Variety that she is co-writing another project, a fourth script, titled “Hierarchies,” but no further details were given about that one.
Ramsay is a major talent. She’s only directed four films during the course of her 24-year career (“Ratcatcher,” “Morvern Callar,” “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and, her last one, 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here”). It sounds like she has a lot on her plate these days and will, hopefully, be shooting a couple of movies in the next year or two.
