You can now refer to Julianne Moore as cinema’s Queen of Dystopia. After taking some pretty rough turns in Children of Men and Blindness, she’ll now pair with Kirsten Stewart on hubby Bart Freundlich’s Backwoods, which should not be confused as a U.S remake of Koldo Serra’s The Backwoods starring Gary Oldman.
THR’s blog mentions that this concerns the end of the world – nothing close to the subject matters that we’d find in Freundlich’s filmography. He last directed The Rebound (Rom Com starring Catherine Zeta-Jones) which was filmed in 2009 and has failed to find distribution. Backwoods sounds like an ensemble pic and would start shooting sometime during the summer.
