\n\tFrench director Olivier Assayas<\/a> (\u201cThe Wizard of the Kremlin\u201d) has set his next movie, \u201cSpiritual World,\u201d with a starry cast including Kristen Stewart<\/a>, Vicky Krieps, Riley Keough and Wagner Moura. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie reunites Assayas with Stewart who won a Cesar Award for best supporting actress for her role opposite Juliette Binoche in his 2015 film \u201cClouds of Sils Maria.\u201d A year later, she had the leading role in \u201cPersonal Shopper,\u201d a supernatural drama for which Assayas won best director at Cannes. <\/p>\n

\n\tDescribed as being in a similar vein as \u201cPersonal Shopper\u201d but steamier, \u201cSpiritual World\u201d will star Stewart as a haunted, clairvoyant young woman plagued by mysterious premonitions. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe film will start shooting in February in France and Germany with an international cast that also includes Barbara Sukowa (\u201cDeux\u201d) and Niels Schneider (\u201cThe Unknown\u201d). <\/p>\n

\n\tAssayas is also reteaming with Paris-based producer Olivier Delbosc for \u201cSpirtual World.\u201d The pair worked together on Assayas\u2019 latest film \u201cThe Wizard of the Kremlin,\u201d<\/a> an ambitious political thriller with Jude Law portraying Russian President Vladimir Putin and Paul Dano a spin doctor named Vadim Baranov. The movie, which also starred Alicia Vikander, world premiered at the Venice Film Festival. <\/p>\n

\n\tArte France, the Franco-German network, is co-financing the film which is currently being developed by Delbosc without a French studio attached. <\/p>\n

\n\tOne of Europe\u2019s most celebrated auteurs, Assayas has been navigating between French and international projects spanning different genres for decades. He notably directed Cuban Five (\u201cWASP Network\u201d), an espionage thriller starring Edgar Ram\u00edrez, Pen\u00e9lope Cruz and Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal; and the HBO mini-series \u201cIrma Vep\u201d with Vikander. <\/p>\n

\n\tMoura, who won an Oscar for his role in \u201cThe Secret Agent,\u201d is currently shooting Bradley Cooper\u2019s Ocean prequel alongside Krieps, while Keough recently filmed Albert Serra\u2019s \u201cOut of This World.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tStewart, who made her directorial debut last year with \u201cThe Chronology of Water\u201d which competed at Cannes, was back on the Croisette this year with Quentin Dupieux\u2019s \u201cFull Phil,\u201d a Paris-set burlesque comedy in which she starred opposite Woody Harrelson. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French director Olivier Assayas (\u201cThe Wizard of the Kremlin\u201d) has set his next movie, \u201cSpiritual World,\u201d with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":909022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,71727,344,159994],"class_list":["post-909021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-kristen-stewart","tag-movies","tag-olivier-assayas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=909021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=909021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=909021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=909021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
