Some murmurs coming out of the Portugal set of Brady Corbet's "The Origin of the World," and they could come with some major changes. There are issues arising.
According to a source, Sadie Soverall was just let go after briefly filming on Corbet's new film — no official reason given. She had the lead role. Corbet has replaced her, last minute, with Lily McInerny, who flew to Portugal to start filming today.
McInerny was supposed to be at TIFF today to premiere her new film "Magazine," but she was a no-show, which only gives more credence to this rumor I'm hearing. More details in the coming hours.
“The Origin of the World” is actually shooting in Portugal first before heading to South Africa for the rest of its four-month shoot. The rest of the cast includes Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez and Joe Alwyn. Corbet is purposely shooting this one independently, and with no studio attached.
