It\u2019s been eight years since Todd Haynes and Cate Blanchett last worked together, for\u00a0Carol<\/a>, their second such collaboration. (After Blanchett served as one of several of Haynes\u2019 various Bobs Dylan for 2007\u2019s I\u2019m Not There<\/a>.) Now, the\u00a0May December\u00a0director has revealed that he\u2019s attempting to lure Blanchett back into the fold, this time with an adaptation of Jean Ganet\u2019s 1947 play\u00a0The Maids.<\/p>\n

This is per a recent conversation Haynes had with French publication\u00a0Le Point<\/a> (via\u00a0The Playlist<\/a>), saying that while he\u2019s currently finishing up Pedro Pascal and Danny Ramirez\u2019s\u00a0De Noche\u2014the movie that previously almost got blown up when Joaquin Phoenix bailed on it, before Pascal stepped in<\/a>\u2014he\u2019s also got his eye on the next movie. \u201cI\u2019ll let you in on something: my next film\u2014after the one I\u2019m currently finishing, De Noche\u2014will be an adaptation of The Maids,\u201d Haynes said. \u201cI have a very particular approach to the story; I obviously can\u2019t say anything, but I\u2019ve never seen this approach anywhere else\u2026 I think Cate Blanchett, who performed the play on stage with Isabelle Huppert, will be in my film.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar,\u00a0The Maids\u2014which Blanchett did indeed star with Huppert in, in a 2013 stage version in Australia that ended up traveling to New York\u2014does sound like a real Todd Haynes\/Cate Blanchett joint, centered on two maid sisters who take turns abusing and demeaning each other while pretending to be their haughty \u201cMadame.\u201d It\u2019s easy to imagine both Haynes and Blanchett sinking their teeth into something like that, even if we have no idea yet what Haynes means when he says he has an \u201capproach\u201d to the material that nobody\u2019s ever seen before. The upshot is that if your \u201cTodd Haynes\/Cate Blanchett psychosexual drama\u201d meters were running low, Haynes might have a top-up for you going pretty soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been eight years since Todd Haynes and Cate Blanchett last worked together, for\u00a0Carol, their second such collaboration.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-655409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
