'Rosebushpruning': the new drama starring Kristen Stewart.

Karim Aïnouz will direct the film and Efthimis Filippou will write the screenplay. The Brazilian director, who is famous for his dramatic features and craftsmanship, recently caused a sensation at this year's Cannes Film Festival with his film 'Firebrand' starring Jude Law and Alicia Vikander. The film also marks the first time Stewart, O'Connor and Fanning have appeared together on a project, although they have all been in major productions of late with roles in Spencer, The Crown and The Great, respectively. It will consist of a dark satire on family and social values. Its protagonist is a young woman suffering from epilepsy who plans the murders of her dysfunctional family.

In fact, Filippou’s script will draw on elements from the 1965 Italian film Fists in the Pocket by director Marco Bellocchio. Though little is known about the plot of Rosebushpruning, its Italian inspiration follows an epileptic man who plots the murder of his dysfunctional family—so we’re expecting it to be dark, dramatic, and intense. The premiere of the original film come with some controversy, but today it is like a milestone in Italian cinema. At 83, Bellocchio is still active.

In addition, Aïnouz had this to say about the remake project: “Marco Bellocchio’s astonishing debut, Fists in the Pocket, come out over 50 years ago and had a huge impact on Italian cinema and storytelling at the time. 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. Rosebushpruning will go into production sometime in the spring of 2024.
