Oscar winning Hungarian director Istvan Szabo has released first images with Ralph Fiennes and Viggo Mortensen in his new movie EMBERS which also includes Charlotte Rampling, our dear Louis Hofmann, Gijs Blom and Katherine Langford whom you can also see in another image. Based on Sandor Marai's novel the film is a psychological duel which reconnects once inseparable friends, Henrik (Fiennes) and Konrad (Mortensen), decades after Konrad’s mysterious disappearance and uncovers over the course of one evening the secret that tore them apart and the woman at the center of it. The film is now in production.
Lovely Christian Cooke, whom we have last seen in Barkskins epic series and Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence, will star in EMBERS movie
Embers will be Christian Cooke's directorial debut
which will also see him as a helmer for the first time. As Screen Daily writes, the movie follows a sexual surrogate who is employed to help a psychiatric patient overcome his intimacy issues after 18 years of high security incarceration.
Cooke will star as the patient, with Ruth Bradley playing the surrogate. The cast also includes David Wilmot, Samuel Anderson, Sam Philips, Judith Roddy and Clare Perkins. It is an unapologetic exploration of sexual surrogacy and its use as an alternative psychiatric treatment. It poses the question, why such intimacy therapy isn’t more accessible. You will also see Christian in That Dirty Black Bag Wild West TV series later this year over at AMC.
