What kind of character will Woody Harrelson play in the new film?
The production team and filming plans for this project were revealed before the plot.
It is important to distinguish between confirmed casting and information that has not yet been disclosed.
3-Line Summary
1. Woody Harrelson will star in ‘Summer of Roses’
2. Filming in Sicily is planned for next month
3. The release timing and detailed plot remain undisclosed
Thomas, an American in Sicily
Actor Woody Harrelson is set to play the lead role of Thomas in director Rick Alverson’s suspense drama film ‘Summer of Roses.’ Deadline reported that Harrelson is joining the project as its lead and that Alverson will direct a screenplay he co-wrote with Mika Jane.
Thomas is introduced as a wealthy American living abroad. In the released premise, he is a character who descends into a seemingly intoxicated, catastrophic state. It is not yet known how the film will explore the character’s inner life and precarious circumstances.
Actor Caleb Landry Jones is also appearing in the film. Harrelson and Jones previously acted together in director Martin McDonagh’s film ‘Three Billboards.’ Hannah Gross and musician Kaya Wilkins, also known as Okay Kaya, have also been added to the cast.
Directed by Rick Alverson, with Filming Still in the Planning Stage
Rick Alverson is an American filmmaker who directed ‘The Mountain,’ which starred Jeff Goldblum. According to Deadline, ‘Summer of Roses’ will be directed by Alverson, with several production companies participating in its production, while Low Spark Films is financing it.
The filming location is Sicily, Italy, and at the time of the reports, filming was said to be planned to begin next month. As this concerns the production schedule, it does not mean that filming will actually begin or be completed. The film’s release date, distribution method, and additional plot details have also not been disclosed.
Yahoo likewise introduced the project as a suspense film featuring Harrelson and Jones together. However, comparisons of its atmosphere with other films are closer to the outlet’s interpretation, and the currently confirmed plot extends only to the basic premise of an American expatriate named Thomas undergoing an unstable downfall.
A Different Next Move from ‘Brothers’
Harrelson is also preparing for the Apple TV comedy series ‘Brothers,’ in which he stars alongside Matthew McConaughey. Based on the two actors’ real-life friendship, they play fictional versions of themselves who discover that they may be brothers.
Deadline reported that the series is scheduled to be released on September 23. By contrast, ‘Summer of Roses’ is still at the stage where only filming plans have been announced, making it difficult to view the two projects as releases from the same period. The clearest developments in the news about Harrelson’s new film are his joining the lead cast and the plan to film in Sicily; audiences will have to wait longer to see the project in its completed form.
