Diane Kruger Will Play Three Characters in David Cronenberg’s New Film THE SHROUDS
David Cronenberg is developing his next film titled The Shourds, which will star Vincent Cassel, Guy Pearce, and Diane Kruger. We’ve now learned that Kruger is set to play three different characters in the film, which is sure to be interesting.
Léa Seydoux was originally supposed to play these characters, but Kruger ended up replacing her. Kruger revealed the new details during an interview with So Film and explained that she is playing the wife of Cassel’s character, the sister of the wife, and “an avatar, a sort of personal assistant.”
In the film, Cassel plays Karsh, “an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a novel device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud. This burial tool installed at his own state-of-the-art – though controversial cemetery allows him and his clients to watch their specific departed loved one decompose in real time.”
It’s explained that “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, drive him to reevaluate his business, marriage and fidelity to his late wife’s memory, as well as push him to new beginnings.”
Yeah, that story sounds very Cronenberg, and it’s sure to be a crazy and fascinating movie.
