“Saltburn” is Emerald Fennell’s upcoming thriller starring Rosamund Pike, Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Carey Mulligan. It test-screened yesterday in Culver City, California and reactions have been wildly positive.
If you remember, Fennell directed the Sundance sensation, “Promising Young Woman,” in 2020. She went on to win a Best Original Screenplay Oscar, but was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Obviously, her follow-up comes with high expectations.
Those expectations seem to have been met last night, with some saying the film felt like “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” Filmed last summer, “Saltburn” is about a grand, aristocratic English family and is a story of obsession. I’ll have more as details start to trickle in…
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
