Andrea Arnold tells Screen that her next film will probably be the Scarlett Johannson-starring “Featherwood.” She’s already location scouted the project, and is now looking to set up a cast and production start for the film.
“Featherwood” is said to be about real-life FBI informant Carol Blevins, a heroin addict and “Aryan Princess featherwood” (property of a gang member) who became one of the FBI’s most important informants during an epic, six-year investigation into the murderous, neo-Nazi crime and drug syndicate known as the Aryan Brotherhood Of Texas.
Arnold’s last film, “Bird,” starring Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, premiered at Cannes and was finally released a few months ago; it turned out to be the most divisive of her career. Arnold is the filmmaker behind acclaimed films such as “Fish Tank,” “American Honey” and “Red Road.”
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
