Lili Horvát’s English-language debut My Notes On Mars will star Greta Lee and Andrew Scott, we’ve learned. More on the sci-fi romance below.
Andrew Scott and Greta Lee starred in two of the most emotionally devastating films of the last few years. Scott’s turn in Andrew Haigh’s All Of Us Strangers left us weeping in our cinema seats, while Celine Song’s Past Lives had us longing for all those who got away.
The pair will now maximise their control over our emotions as they team up for Lili Horvát’s My Notes On Mars. Described as a sci-fi romance, Deadline reports that the film will follow “Margot (Lee), a brilliant young scientist with a troubled marriage, who disappears inexplicably while hiking with her husband Sam (Scott) and a group of friends. A few weeks later, she miraculously reappears the day of her own memorial service. Margot is clearly not the same as before the accident. Nevertheless, Sam sees his wife’s miraculous reappearance as a second chance.”
Colour us intrigued. My Notes On Mars will mark Horvát’s English-language debut. The Hungarian filmmaker’s previous films include The Wednesday Child and Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time.
Horvát described My Notes On Mars as “a story about the labyrinthine human psyche, about the ever-changing faces of love. To start over a marriage, to rediscover the other, to fall in love again — our story is about the grueling realization of this impossible desire.”
Horvát is also writing the script for the film, admitting that she’s “particularly drawn to characters who dare to make surprising, unconventional choices in both their private and professional lives.”
She added: “I feel that this is true for Greta and Andrew as well. It is an incredible honor for me that I can accompany them on the journey of creating Margot and Sam Fogel.”
There’s no release window for My Notes On Mars yet, but we’re thoroughly looking forward to having our emotions wrecked once again by Scott and Lee. We’ll keep you updated on more My Notes On Mars news.
