Brady Corbet to Direct Untitled X-Rated Film Starring Blanchett, Gomez, FassbenderPreviousNext

Director Brady Corbet is set to helm a new untitled film starring Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez, and Michael Fassbender. The project, described as an X-rated, genre-defying feature, spans from the 19th century to the present with a focus on the 1970s. Shot using rare eight-perf 65mm cameras, the film has a lengthy 200-page script and is expected to exceed the three-and-a-half-hour runtime of Corbet's previous film, The Brutalist. Production is led by Andrew Morrison.
