Production
[edit]It was announced in October 2021 that Joshua Oppenheimer had set his next film at Neon, with Tilda Swinton, George MacKay and Stephen Graham set to star.[1] In March 2023, Moses Ingram, Michael Shannon, Bronagh Gallagher, Tim McInnerny and Lennie James joined the cast, with Graham replaced by Shannon.[2] Shannon plays the patriarch of the family in the bunker, and he both sings and dances in the role.[3]
Filming began in Ireland in March 2023, with production also set to occur in Italy and Germany.[4][2] The production received €480,000 in funding from Eurimages.[5]
Distribution
[edit]The film is slated to screen in the Special Presentations program at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. However, TIFF has tagged the screening only as a Canadian premiere, not as a world premiere, indicating its likely inclusion in another film festival whose program has yet to be announced; a possibility could be the Telluride Film Festival, the lineup for which is typically announced only a day before the festival begins.[6][7]
