Cate Blanchett and Selena Gomez are set to star in director Brady Corbet's next film, alongside Michael Fassbender. Blanchett revealed the news during a masterclass at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, and Variety has confirmed her casting, as well as Gomez's involvement.
Plot details for the untitled project remain under wraps, but Corbet has described it as an 'X-rated' feature set primarily in the 1970s. He told the Hollywood Reporter that the film 'spans from the 19th century into the present day' and is 'really, really genre-defying.' The movie will be shot using rare eight-perf 65mm cameras.
Corbet also teased the film's length at the Storyhouse Screenwriting Festival in Dublin last month, revealing a 200-page script. By comparison, his previous film 'The Brutalist' had a 165-page script and a three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Andrew Morrison is producing the project under his Kaplan Morrison banner. This will be Corbet's fourth feature, following 'The Childhood of a Leader' (2015), 'Vox Lux' (2018), and 'The Brutalist' (2024).
Blanchett, an Oscar-winning actress, has worked with directors such as Martin Scorsese and David Fincher. Gomez, a pop star and founder of Rare Beauty, recently won a Cannes best actress award for 'Emilia Pérez' and stars in the Hulu series 'Only Murders of the Building.'
