Privileged Pranked: Papadimitropoulos Sets Charlotte Gainsbourg & Edgar Ramirez for “Oh, How Fun!”

Date:

Edgar Ramirez, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Annabelle Wallis, Lena Headey, Angeliki Papoulia, Makis Papadimitriou, Spyros Dadanides are among the players who’ll be found in the satirical comedy set on the posh Greek Island of Antiparos — the latest project by Suntan (2016) and Monday (2020) filmmaker Argyris Papadimitropoulos. Variety reports that Oh, How Fun! is setting up production for a shoot later this year on a project that sounds awfully close to Ruben Östlund biting social class portraits. The production team includes Blonde Audiovisual Productions’ Fenia Cossovitsa, Filmiki Productions’ Nicholas Alavanos and Dimitris Logiadis, La Boîte à Fanny’s Fanny-L Malo and Subculture’s Stephen Spence.

This follows the wealthy British Skidmore family and their privileged guests vacationing in a pristine Greek island villa where days unfold in a haze of “languid afternoons, exquisitely plated meals, infinity pools, designer kaftans, and a cherished tradition of… pranks!” But when the group’s “master prank” goes spectacularly wrong, the holiday spirals into chaos.
