Kristen Stewart, Josh O’Connor and Elle Fanning have all signed on for the leading roles in Rosebushpruning, which will be an English remake based on Marco Bellocchio’s classic Italian dark comedy Fists in the Pocket. The film is set to go into production in 2024. The movie is set to be directed by Karim Aïnouz, who also released a statement on the project saying;
“Marco Bellocchio’s astonishing debut, Fists in the Pocket, was released over 50 years ago and had a huge impact on Italian cinema and storytelling at the time,” Aïnouz said in a statement. “I’m excited to be collaborating with Efthimis Filippou to revisit this iconic work to create a contemporary parable about the death of the traditional patriarchal family — which I hope will be touching and provocative in equal measure. It’s a dream come true to be working with such a dynamic ensemble of actors that I have long admired to bring this explosive adaptation to audiences today.”
