\n\tEXCLUSIVE:\u00a0English actress Sadie Soverall<\/a> (Every Year After) is being eyed for a lead role in Brady Corbet<\/a>\u2018s next film, multiple sources tell Deadline.<\/p>\n

\n\tReps for Corbet and Soverall declined comment. We\u2019re told that Soverall has not yet inked her deal but is the choice for her part, which is under wraps.<\/p>\n

\n\tCate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender and Selena Gomez have previously been tipped as part of the cast, with Blanchett discussing her participation during a masterclass at Cannes.<\/p>\n

\n\tRumored to be titled\u00a0The Origin of the World, the film is \u201cabout American mysticism and the history of the occult in America,\u201d Corbet revealed<\/a> during an appearance at Dublin\u2019s Storyhouse screenwriting festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tMuch about the project still remains a mystery, but Corbet has confirmed that he\u2019s working from an \u201cX-rated\u201d 200-page script.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe film spans from the 19th century into the present day \u2014 it\u2019s just predominantly focused on the \u201970s. The film is really, really genre-defying,\u201d the director told THR.<\/p>\n

\n\tCorbet comes to this project on the heels of\u00a0The Brutalist, an epic postwar drama that finds a visionary Hungarian architect (Adrien Brody) rebuilding his life and aiming to cement his legacy after immigrating to America. The film earned three Oscars from 10 nominations, with Brody wining Best Actor<\/a> and additional statuettes for its cinematography and original score. That film came on the heels of Corbet\u2019s Natalie Portman-led pop star drama\u00a0Vox Lux, as well as\u00a0The Childhood of a Leader, which won multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tAndrew Morrison and Brian Young will produce Corbet\u2019s latest. Production is expected to kick off in late summer or early fall.<\/p>\n

\n\tA sought after young talent, Soverall is the female lead of Every Year After, Prime Video\u2019s new romantic drama series based on the BookTok phenomenon\u00a0Every Summer After\u00a0by Carly Fortune, which is set to world premiere at Tribeca before launching on the streamer June 10. Also upcoming for the actress is\u00a0Finding Emily, a Focus\/Working Title rom-com from director Alicia MacDonald that releases in the U.S. on August 28.<\/p>\n
