Guy Pearce and Diane Kruger join Vincent Cassel in what sounds like a typically strange Cronenberg project, set to shoot in May.
We’ve known for a while that La Haine star Vincent Cassel will be re-teaming with director David Cronenberg again this year on The Shrouds, in which Cassel will play “Karsh, an innovative businessman, and grieving widower, who builds a device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud.”
It looks like the film’s production has been delayed somewhat due to the casting change, with production moving from a planned March start, into May. Originally slated as a Netflix series, the streaming platform backed out so Cronenberg reconfigured the project as a film. We’ll bring you more on The Shrouds as we hear it.
