Barry Keoghan is displaying off his script tattoos for Andrea Arnold‘s highly-anticipated “Bird.”
The “Saltburn” actor and “Banshees of Inisherin” Oscar nominee performs a personality named Bug within the characteristic that has little or no particulars shared as of but. “Passages” star Franz Rogowski is forged as Bird, with Nykiya Adams, Jason Buda, Jasmine Jobson, Joanne Matthews, James Nelson-Joyce, Rhys Yates, and Sarah Beth Harber.
While plot particulars stay beneath wraps, it’s identified that Keoghan exited Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2” to movie “Bird” as a substitute. The characteristic will probably be premiering on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in competitors alongside Sean Baker’s “Anora,” David Cronenberg’s “The Shrouds,” Paul Schrader’s “Oh, Canada,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness,” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”
“Bird” is director Arnold’s return to narrative filmmaking since her 2016 Cannes launch “American Honey” starring Shia LaBeouf and Sasha Lane.
“Bird” was picked up by Cornerstone Films. Actor Rogowski instructed IndieWire’s Ryan Lattanzio in December 2023 that filming “Bird” was “quite different” from his earlier experiences on units.
“With Andrea Arnold, this [past] summer, the atmosphere was quite different from what I’ve experienced so far,” Rogowski stated. “She would wait for the right moment to come, like a hunter, for hours and hours to wait for a bunch of kids to calm down until they could walk across a meadow and own the meadow and be in their own territory instead of being forced to pretend to do something naturally. And that’s her message.”
Rogowski continued, “I love to work with people that have a vision, and for me, they can be assholes as long as they take care of our project and are looking for something that unites us as cinephiles. But the worst thing that can happen is to work with someone that is just very kind and not good at directing, and then you have a good time. But the movie’s going to be horrible.”
Meanwhile, Rogowski’s “Bird” co-star Keoghan needs to equally solely work with auteurs. Keoghan instructed Wonderland journal that he hopefully will collaborate with the Safdie Brothers, Lynne Ramsay, and Barry Jenkins sooner or later.
“I have a list of directors that tend to knock around on these interviews and by saying their names I try to use the law of attraction [to make that happen]. But I really have 1712850647 ticked off a lot of directors on that. You know, like Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Chloé Zhao. So, I’ve got to make a feckin’ new list, man. I really do,” Keoghan stated.
