At the Cannes Film Festival, one X-rated film after another captivates audiences. As the controversial horror-drama The Devils (1971) receives recognition with a special 55th-anniversary screening, details emerge about director Brady Corbet’s exciting new project, The Brutalist.
According to reports by Variety, Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez, and Michael Fassbender are set to star in the new X-rated movie. During a masterclass at the festival, Blanchett, 57, hinted at her collaboration with Corbet. The director, aged 37, has expressed his desire to create a genre-defying film set in the ’70s, spanning from the 19th century to the present day.
At a recent festival in Dublin, Corbet revealed that the new film will be lengthy, boasting a 200-page script. Fans of The Brutalist will recall the 165-page script for that film, which ran for three and a half hours. Meanwhile, Blanchett made headlines for her upcoming portrayal of Martha Stewart in a biopic directed by Janicza Bravo, known for the critically acclaimed Zola.
Blanchett’s career is decorated with accolades, including two Academy Awards for her performances in The Aviator and Blue Jasmine. Her latest projects continue to showcase her versatility and talent, making her a standout in the industry.
The allure of the Cannes Film Festival’s X-rated film screenings doesn’t seem to fade, with each new project pushing boundaries and offering a fresh perspective on storytelling. As the industry evolves, filmmakers like Corbet and actors like Blanchett continue to challenge norms and redefine their craft. Cannes remains a beacon of creativity and innovation in the world of cinema, where the unexpected and the provocative find their place on the silver screen.
