With Crimes of the Future coming to theaters this summer, David Cronenberg has already set up his next project, officially announced over on Variety this morning. It’s titled The Shrouds, and Vincent Cassel (Irreversible, Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises) is on board to star!
The film “centers on Karsh (Vincent Cassel), an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud.”
Here’s a longer plot synopsis for Cronenberg’s The Shrouds that provides more info:
“Karsh’s revolutionary business is on the verge of breaking into the international mainstream when several graves within his cemetery are vandalized and nearly destroyed, including that of his wife. While he struggles to uncover a clear motive for the attack, the mystery of who wrought this havoc, and why, will drive Karsh to reevaluate his business, marriage and fidelity to his late wife’s memory, as well as push him to new beginnings.”
Cronenberg wrote the script and he’ll be directing the movie. “We are thrilled to be going on a journey into the newest world from the distinctive imagination of David Cronenberg. His ability to write smart and unconventional screenplays and then translate them into unique experiences on screen makes him a unique voice in film,” producer Ben Saïd tells Variety.
Sales on The Shrouds will launch in Cannes this month. Filming begins March 2023.
