Lynne Ramsay Re-Teams with “We Need to Talk About Kevin” Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey on “Die, My Love”

Filming is imminent for Lynne Ramsay‘s highly anticipated fifth feature, and we just learned that a key creative member in cinematographer Seamus McGarvey from the We Need to Talk About Kevin team will reunite with the Scottish filmmaker with pre-production currently unfolding in Calgary, Alberta. McGarvey recently reteamed with Joe Wright for Cyrano and the next item we might see is in Angelina Jolie’s long-delayed Without Blood. Based on the book by Ariana Harwicz, co-written by Ramsay and Enda Walsh, Die, My Loveis described as a horror dramedy and takes place in a remote forgotten rural area, where a mother (Jennifer Lawrence) struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. She grapples with motherhood, marriage, and her own mental health. The novel explored desire, identity, and societal expectations.

We’re getting Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles vibes with this one. Christopher Abbott and Robert Pattinson have been attached to the project which we imagine will be confirmed sometime soon. (Update: Variety reports that Pattison might join the project). We’re earmarking this as a potential competition item for next year’s Cannes Film Festival where Ramsay was praised and prized twice for You Were Never Really Here. Martin Scorsese is among the producers on the project.
