Robert Pattinson is in talks to join Jennifer Lawrence in Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love.” the film is set to start production this week in Canada (via The Calgary Herald). This is some big-time casting for Ramsay who now has two major stars onboard her next film.
Pattinson hasn’t been seen on-screen since 2022’s “The Batman.” He hasn’t starred in anything else since then. This year he was supposed to be seen in Bong Joon-ho’s “Mickey 17,” but its release got delayed by a year.
“Die, My Love,” an adaptation of a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz, 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 set to produce the film.
Ramsay co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh. Meanwhile, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawerence Marty Scorsese and Andrea Calderwell are producing with Black Label Media financing.
Ramsay recently admitted, at the Icelandic Film Center, that she actually has four scripts ready to shoot. There’s the ones already mentioned (“Die, My Love,” “Stone Mattress”) and also “Polaris,” starring Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara. The filmmaker also co-wrote another project, 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 two films this year.
