Acclaimed director Sally Potter is filming her next feature, a family drama starring Javier Bardem, Elle Fanning and Salma Hayek that is currently on location in Spain, with New York scheduled in for January 2019.
Sally Potter, whose previous features have included centuries-spanning historical fantasy “Orlando,” the tumultuous celebration dinner of “The Party,” and Paris-set romance “The Tango Lesson,” has started filming her latest film.
The story, whose title has not yet been announced, focuses on one day in the life of a troubled father (Javier Bardem) and his daughter (Elle Fanning); Salma Hayek plays the mother.
Potter and Fanning worked together on “Ginger & Rosa,” and the director, who has collected
filmmaking awards from the Berlin, Venice, Sitges and Tallinn film festivals, among many others, is partnering with regular collaborator, producer Christopher Sheppard.
There’ll likely be more news around the time of the 2019 Berlin Film Festival, February 7-17, as the project is to be introduced to prospective distributors at an accompanying event. – Relaxnews
