Hollywood actors and married couple Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the line, Joker) And Rooney Mara (The social network, The Girl with dragon tattoo) joined the director’s cast Powel Pawlikowski’S (Ida, Cold War) upcoming dramatic thriller, The island (job title).
Written and directed by Pawlikowski, “the film is inspired by true events and follows an attractive 1930s American couple who turn their backs on civilization to build their own private paradise on a desert island and live off the land. But after a passing millionaire on her yacht inadvertently turns them into a tabloid newspaper, a self-styled countess arrives out of nowhere with her two strange lovers with the intention of conquering the island and building a luxury hotel.
The synopsis continues: “This extraordinary European ‘countess’ and her entourage soon begin to threaten the Eden that the couple has built and the battle lines are quickly drawn. A psychological warfare ensues as seduction and jealousy descend into sexual infidelity, betrayal and eventually murder: at exactly the same time, nature itself turns against these island intruders.
This sounds wild! Phoenix and Mara last starred opposite each other in 2018’s historical drama Mary Magdalene. The island filming will begin next year. We will keep you updated with updates.
