Colin Farrell is set to reunite with “The Lobster” director Yorgos Lanthimos in the Greek helmer’s latest project “The Killing of a Sacred Deer.”
Project, which is expected to begin lensing in August, sees Lanthimos re-team with co-writer Efthymis Filipou and producers Element Pictures and Film4. Hanway Films is shopping the hot title to foreign buyers in Cannes.
CAA is repping domestic rights, which have already been snapped up by A24 in advance of the festival.
It’s a fitting announcement on the Croisette this year, given last year saw Lanthimos’ click “The Lobster,” which also starred Farrell, snap up the Cannes Jury Prize at the fest.
Lanthimos co-writes and directs the project, inspired by a Euripides tragedy, which centers on Steven, a charismatic surgeon and a teenage boy who seeks to integrate him into his broken family. When the boy’s actions become increasingly sinister, Steven’s ideal life starts to fall apart and he is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice. [...]
Nicole Kidman und Alicia Silverstone sind auch dabei. Läuft derzeit in Cannes und in den Staaten ab November im Kino.
The Lobster war ja weitestgehend interessant und auch amüsant, kackte imo aber mit seinem Ende ab.
