Play all audios:


Kristen Stewart, Josh O’Connor and Elle Fanning are to lead The Match Factory and Mubi’s _Rosebushpruning_ from _Firebrand _director Karim Aïnouz. The movie is an adaptation of Marco


Bellochio’s psychological feature 50 years ago, which was titled _Fists in the Pocket. _Aïnouz, who won the Cannes 2019 Un Certain Regard with ___The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão_ and


is behind the Alicia Vikander-starring _Firebrand_, is directing from a script written by Efthimis Filippou (_Dogtooth)_. Adaptation rights were acquired from Kavac Film and shooting will


begin in 2024. _Rosebushpruning _is a dark satire of family and social values, centering on a young man suffering from epilepsy who plots the murders of his dysfunctional family. WATCH ON


DEADLINE “Marco Bellocchio’s astonishing debut, _Fists in the Pocket_, was released over 50 years ago and had a huge impact on Italian cinema and storytelling at the time,” said Aïnouz. “I’m


excited to be collaborating with Efthimis Filippou to revisit this iconic work to create a contemporary parable about the death of the traditional patriarchal family — which I hope will be


touching and provocative in equal measure.” Stewart is represented by WME and McKuin/Frankel/Whitehead. O’Connor is represented by CAA, Independent Talent Group, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett


& Kole. Fanning is repped by UTA, Echo Lake Entertainment, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox. THR was first with the


news.
