Harvey Keitel and Britt Robertson Set to Star in Comedy-Drama THE LETTER
Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs) and Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland) are set to star in a new comedy-drama titled The Letter, which is currently in production in Buenos Aires, with Rodrigo H. Vila directing.
The film follows Finn (Keitel), “an old war veteran, who wants to write a goodbye letter to his only daughter. He decides to hire failed writer Julia (Robertson), who is desperate for money.
“The two, each feeling lost in their own ways, form an unusual yet endearing friendship that ultimately transforms both their lives.”
This sounds like it will tell a heartfelt story, and as a longtime fan of Keitel, it’s always great to see him land a strong lead role in a movie. Vila and Keitel previously worked together on the 2019 sci-fi thriller The Last Man.
Vila said in a statement: “I’ve worked with Harvey in the past, and we promised to make another film together. This film, crafted specifically for him, has the potential to be a small gem that moves, brings laughter, tears and encourages reflection on life’s little things — perhaps the most significant ones.”
Producer Colette Aguilar said: “We are excited to continue our collaboration with Cinema 7 Films. The script immediately drew us in with its charm and heartfelt narrative. Featuring a wonderful cast, this film will undoubtedly resonate with audiences across generations. We can’t wait to bring it to the global market.”
The script was written by Vila and Sebastián Meschengieser in collaboration with Andy Weiss.
