Production
WestEnd Films and CAA Media Finance took the project for sales to the Cannes Film Festival in May 2022 with Hopkins cast, and Matthew Brown on board as director for the St. Germain adaptation.[6] The film is produced by Alan Greisman, Rick Nicita, Meg Thomson and Hannah Leader, with production beginning in the U.K. in late January 2023.[7] However, for financial reasons Freud’s Hampstead house and famous psychoanalyst couch were recreated in Dublin at the Ardmore Studios.[8] A selection of props from the film (particularly the replica couch and garden tent chair) have since May 2023 been housed at the Freud Museum London. Co-produced by Aiofe O’Sullivan and Tristan Orpen Lynch of Subotica Operations, the film received UK Global Screen Fund International Co-production funding.[9][10] An image from principal photography was released in April 2023 with the film entering the final stages of filming in Ireland.[11]
Sony Pictures Classics bought international rights to the picture in November 2022.[3]
