Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man) and Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) are set to star in the upcoming film Late Fame, from director Kent Jones and May December co-screenwriter Samy Burch, and producer Killer Films.
The film “tells the story of Ed Saxberger (Dafoe), who wrote a book of poetry a long time ago that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscover his work, he must reassess his genius.
“The wild card in the group is Gloria (Hüller), a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by Saxberger, this legendary figure from a gritty New York golden age.”
The movie is described as “wickedly ironic and unexpectedly poignant” and it explores the “illusory effect of praise on the soul, and the lingering ghostly presence of the past, whether it’s imagined or vividly remembered.”
Killer Films said in a statement: “Killer Films is honored to be re-teaming with Samy on her next screenplay. Her voice is original, her screenwriting is deeply thematic and she keeps you off balance in the most satisfying and surprising way.
“Out of the gate we talked about Kent Jones to direct. We both loved ‘Diane,’ and know he will execute the story with his observant, detailed naturalism shot through with humor and feeling.”
This project is said to be on to the hottest packages set for a Cannes Launch, and the film will start shooting in NYC in the fall.
