Award winning French filmmaker
Claire Denis (Beau Travail, White Material) is getting ready to make a double
debut in both genre and language.
Based on an original
idea by Denis and writing partner Jean-Pol Fargeau, the yet untitled project is
the director's first English-spoken film, and first sci-fi. Not much is known about
the project but it will be set beyond our solar system, "in a future that
seems like the present."
Scheduled to begin
shooting later this year or early 2016, the film is being co-written by Denis,
novelist Zadie Smith and her husband Nick Laird.
Icelandic
artist Olafur Eliasson, who collaborated with Denis on a short film for one
of his exhibitions, astrophysicist Aurelien Barrau, an expert
on black holes and cosmology, and Tindersticks frontman Stuart Staples,
who previously provided music for the filmmaker's White
Material and 35 Rhums' films are collaborating with the Denis in bringing her
vision to the big screen.
Producer
Olvier Dungey (Miss Julie) revealed that Denis "assembled a quite
extraordinary team to make exactly the kind of ambitious film that audiences
cherish – completely original, genuinely pushing the boundaries of art and
science and, above all, extremely entertaining."
