Oooh, TOM HARDY! That's such a great choice, I'd love to see her working with him!

And I do so love that description too, I'm so pumped for this movie.

Love all the suggestions! Lou (co-owner of McAdams Daily) also suggested James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender or Ewan McGregor which I all approve of as well.

I like that you mentioned Huisman and he's the same age as Jake so not too young if you ask me

He's Dutch btw, but I'm always impressed by his English accent.

EDIT: Weisz next project after Disobedience will start filming in February (in Toronto), so it seems likely the filming of Disobedience will wrap up before that: https://thefilmstage.com/news/sylves...yas-idols-eye/

Nice article!

Wow, so I'd guess a six-week shoot or something like that. Thanks for the info, Lindsey!

Disobedience found a French distributor:

Quote:

Stephane Celerier’s Paris-based Mars Distribution has scooped French rights to Sebastián Lelio’s “Disobedience,” one of the hottest projects being pitched at the AFM.

Repped in international markets by FilmNation Entertainment, “Disobedience” stars Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz, who is also producing. The film is expected to start shooting early next year.

“Disobedience,” based on Naomi Alderman’s novel, follows a woman who returns to her Orthodox Jewish home after learning about the death of her estranged father and sparks an upheaval within the community. The script was written by Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewic.

Ed Guiney at Element Pictures is producing with Frida Torresblanco at Braven Films and Film 4.

“Disobedience” spurred a bidding war among a flurry of French distributors. The project is the latest buzzed-about title to join Mars Distribution’s slate. The company, which is minority-owned by Vivendi’s StudioCanal, also recently acquired Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” and Wim Wenders’ “Submergence” (with Selective Films).

FilmNation Entertainment is expected to close a U.S. deal on “Disobedience” during the AFM.

Seth Meyers was on his show (Late Night with Seth Meyers) and made a joke about the casting of this movie (fast-forward to 3:46):

Love the video!

amanda s. · 11-19-2016, 01:24 AM

That's just too funny!

Has anyone else read the book? I just finished it the other day and I really liked it a lot, it got me pumped for the movie!

**Firecrest** · 11-19-2016, 01:29 PM

Me too, salivating!
