What Happened
Principal photography began in April for 'Three Incestuous Sisters', a new film directed by two-time Cannes prizewinner Alice Rohrwacher. The film is Rohrwacher's first English-language feature and is an adaptation of the illustrated gothic novel by U.S. author Audrey Niffenegger. The screenplay was co-written by Rohrwacher and U.S. writer Ottessa Moshfegh. Filming is currently taking place on the island of Stromboli off the coast of Sicily, with ten weeks of shooting planned between Stromboli and Rome.
Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy international cinema or gothic storytelling, this project may bring a distinctive new film to theaters. The collaboration between acclaimed Italian director Alice Rohrwacher and a high-profile cast could result in a notable arthouse release. The film's production on Stromboli also creates a tangible link to cinematic history, as director Roberto Rossellini filmed his movie 'Stromboli' on the same island in 1949.
What's Next
The production will continue its ten-week shooting schedule, which is likely to conclude in the coming months. Following filming, the project will enter post-production. Given Rohrwacher's track record and the film's high-profile elements, it could be positioned for a festival premiere, potentially at an event like Cannes where the director has previously competed.
