Christopher Hampton marks his third collaboration with Frears, adapting Jonathan Coe's book about the Hollywood Golden Era legend.
Co producers are Reinhard Brundig and Christos V. Konstantakopoulos, who previously partnered with Thomas on Jim Jarmusch’sProduction will commence in the spring of 2023 in Greece, Munich and Paris. Casting of further principal roles will be announced shortly.
“Europe and Hollywood. Hollywood and Europe. The most interesting dilemma in the cinema,” said Frears. Added Waltz: “Billy Wilder said ‘You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.’ A Stephen Frears movie from a Christopher Hampton script produced by Jeremy Thomas should do the trick for me.”
Hampton said: “From the time of our first meeting in Los Angeles in the early eighties, Billy Wilder was extremely kind and encouraging to me. Jonathan Coe’s wonderful novel has provided the perfect opportunity to express my gratitude and my admiration for one of the undisputed giants of cinema history.”
Thomas added: “I’m excited about this collaboration, and am looking forward to seeing the film as a committed cinema lover.”
