Exclusive: Juliet Stevenson has boarded Anton Corbijn’s thriller Switzerland starring Helen Mirren as crime novelist Patricia Highsmith as shooting gets underway in Rome, sources close to the production have confirmed.

She joins Mirren, Olivia Cooke (House of the Dragon), who was also confirmed this week, as well as previously attached Alden Ehrenreich (Oppenheimer).

Truly Madly Deeply star Stevenson was seen most recently in the series Mozart: Rise of Genius and Professor T. Details of her role have not been revealed. It is the first time she will appear with Mirren on the big screen.

The movie has been adapted by Australian writer Joanna Murray-Smith from her play of the same name, revolving around Patricia Highsmith’s encounter with an ambitious young literary agent, played by Ehrenreich (Oppenheimer).

It is 1995, as Highsmith lives out her final days in seclusion in the Swiss Alps with only her cats for company.

When...

Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren is set to portray crime novelist Patricia Highsmith in the upcoming psychological thriller “Switzerland,” currently filming in Rome. The project marks a significant return to feature filmmaking for Dutch director Anton Corbijn after a nine-year break.

The film, based on Joanna Murray-Smith’s play, follows an aging Highsmith in her later years. Alden Ehrenreich co-stars as Edward, a young literary agent who arrives with a proposal for Highsmith to write one final installment of her famous Ripley series. As their collaboration unfolds, the narrative promises to blur the lines between reality and fiction, hinting at potentially darker underlying motivations.

Joining Mirren and Ehrenreich is Olivia Cooke, though details about her character remain confidential. The production has assembled an impressive creative team, including Oscar-nominated cinematographer Robbie Ryan, costume designer Gabriella Pescucci, and production designer Dimitri Capuani.

The international production is backed by multiple production companies, including Brouhaha Entertainment and Lunar Pictures.

Shooting is underway in Rome on Anton Corbijn’s thriller “Switzerland,” starring Helen Mirren as American crime novelist Patricia Highsmith, with Alden Ehrenreich (“Oppenheimer”) and Olivia Cooke (“House of the Dragon”) confirmed to have joined the cast.

The hotly anticipated film – which takes its cue from Highsmith’s Tom Ripley novels – marks the first feature in more than nine years from the Dutch photographer-turned-director. Corbijn is known for helming music videos for U2, Coldplay and Nirvana as well as films including “Control,” the biopic about Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, as well as “A Most Wanted Man” and “The American.”

The fictional “Switzerland” story sees Mirren playing the aging queen of thrillers fading away in Switzerland, where a young literary agent named Edward (Ehrenreich), tries to coax her out of retirement to pen one last installment of her popular “Ripley” series. It soon becomes clear that the charming agent is on a more sinister mission.

The 2024 TIFF Discovery program has been announced, with the buzzy “Bonjour Tristesse” opening the lineup.

Presented by Air France, the Discovery program debuts first-time features and sophomore films from emerging international filmmakers. This year, the festival has 24 titles with 20 world premieres representing 25 countries ranging from Bangladesh to Nigeria.

Durga Chew-Bose’s adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s novel “Bonjour Tristesse” will open the program. The film centers on 18-year-old Cécile (Lily McInerny) who is enjoying the French seaside with her father, Raymond (Claes Bang) and his lover Elsa (Naïlia Harzoune). Yet the arrival of her late mother’s friend Anne (Chloë Sevigny) changes everything. Per the official synopsis, “amid the sun-drenched splendour of their surroundings, Cécile’s world is threatened and, desperate to regain control, she sets in motion a plan to drive Anne away with tragic consequences.”

Chew-Bose writes and directs the film, which is represented by UTA for distribution sales.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that in a possible leak, Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) will find Spencer Cassadine (most recently Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and bring him to Laura Collins (Genie Francis). Spencer has been missing and presumed dead for a long time now, and it’s been a long time since Lucky saw him-he was a kid, but he would recognize his nephew.

General Hospital Spoilers – The Turtle Dove In The Water Reminded Many Of Sonny Corinthos’ Presumed Death

The turtle dove in the water shown in the last scene reminded many of what happened to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) in Nixon Falls.

He was in the snow, washed up on shore from the river he fell in, and had amnesia-and his father’s watch with the name “Mike”. Spencer could very well be alive somewhere but either badly injured or recovering or with amnesia like Sonny-and a mysterious turtle dove.

Launch of Surat Diamond Bourse (Sdb) has catapulted it to a unique position as being the World’s largest office building surpassing Pentagon. If we remember, in most of the Hollywood movies Pentagon building invariably featured as a backdrop or a location for the films which catapulted this building to a place of eminence around the world.

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is convinced he’s getting arrested on Tuesday and, though he may be calling it a “witch hunt,” among other things, Jimmy Fallon thinks there might be at least one aspect of getting apprehended that Trump is going to enjoy.

During his monologue on Monday night, Fallon joked that Trump actually deserves some credit for his Truth Social post announcing his arrest on Saturday, saying that “it’s not often that everyone sends out a ‘Save the Date’ for their own arrest.” Of course, it’s worth noting that’s Trump’s claim was not officially confirmed by authorities, or even by anyone on his own team.

In his post on Saturday, Trump wrote that “The Far & Away Leading Republican Candidate & Former President Of The United States Of America, Will Be Arrested On Tuesday Of Next Week.”
