Josh O’Connor, Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson, and Saoirse Ronan are all set to star in Italian director Alice Rohrwacher’s next film, “Three Incestuous Sisters”.
The project, set up at Indian Paintbrush which is also financing, is based on the best-selling novel by “The Time Traveler’s Wife” author Audrey Niffenegger.
Rohrwacher directs from a script penned by Ottessa Moshfegh with this interpretation said to be only a loose one. As such, plot specifics of the film are under wraps.
The original illustrated novel deals with three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented.
It is dubbed a “melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. The romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair.”
Johnson, Rohrwacher, Steven Rales and Ro Donnelly will produce with filming set to begin in April.
Rohrwacher most recently directed the acclaimed “La Chimera” in 2023 which also starred O’Connor.
