Brutalist Trio Part of ‘Diamond Shitter’ Quartet as Andrea Riseborough & Guy Pearce Join

Date:

The Brutalist family reunion continues as Screen Daily reports that Antonia Campbell-Hughes’ sophomore feature Diamond Shitter (which will also be known as the generic title of High End in some markets) have castt Andrea Riseborough and Guy Pearce alongside Raffey Cassidy and Alessandro Nivola — they replace the previously announced Eva Green and Ben Whishaw. Production began this week in Geneva, Switzerland and it will continue in Ireland until the second week of April. Key folks behind the lines include Lanthimos-regular Robbie Ryan as director of photography, Saffron Cullane as costume designer, John Leslie as production designer, and John Walters as editor. Unless this gets rushed in post-production for a Venice Film Festival drop, we’re confidently looking at a 2027 premiere.

This unfolds against the backdrop of the affluent expat community in Geneva. Young intern Nollaig (Cassidy) ignites a darkly visceral shift within the privileged home of her host family when she steals their precious diamonds, absorbing them into her body, and in the process unmasks the deeper truths beneath their glittering privilege.
