Juste la fin du Monde será la próxima película de Xavier Dolan, conocido recientemente por el éxito crítico de Mommy (2014) y por Yo maté a mi madre (2009).
Le veremos dirigir a nada más y nada menos que Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux, Vincent Cassel, Nathalie Baye y Gaspard Ulliel.
Dolan ha dicho:
I'm absolutely thrilled about 'It's Only The End of the World,' especially for the work with the actors. It is my utmost priority and most visceral passion to work with inspiring talent on set and not only direct them, but, as an actor-director, act with and through them, even from the other side of the mirror. To reunite them has been a jigsaw puzzle of the highest Byzantine complexity but I'd honestly kill to be in a room with those five extraordinary, creative individuals.
Anne Dorval had brought the beautiful play from Jean-Luc Lagarce to my attention many years ago, but the time didn't seem right back then and it ended in the "long-term drawer". The shooting for 'John F. Donovan' has gotten me really excited but it’s not going before next fall, and I want to be on the ground again before we power the Donovan machine. I thought 'It's Only The End of the World' could very well bridge the genre chasm between 'Mommy and 'John F.' It's the second time I'm adapting a play and I have to admit that so far, for me, novels and plays have been the regal road to screenwriting. I love adaptations and they challenge me in a different way. It’s humbling to translate someone’s world, someone’s intimate creation to the screen. It’s a big responsibility. And it’s a risk. So that’s all very, very inspiring.
Parece que el 2016 podría traernos una ración doble del director canadiense de moda. Recordemos que también está en fase de pre-producción The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.
