“The Brutalist“, Adrien Brody‘s new movie, is a title directed by Brady Corbet (Mysterious Skin, Thirteen and Melancholia) that promises to captivate audiences with an intense exploration of the life of a Jewish refugee architect.

The story follows László Toth, an architectural visionary who arrives in the United States in the 1940s to start a new life. His professional and personal journeys unfold in a postwar context full of struggles.

With Corbet’s characteristic dark and contemplative style, the drama stands out as a visually striking film that blends art, history, and a deep analysis of the human cost of ambition and creation.

The Brutalist rumored cast salary

“The Brutalist” is one of the most anticipated dramatic movies, not only because it’s the latest major project from A24, but also because it will hit theaters on December 20, featuring a large cast and a solid budget.

Visually, the film draws inspiration from Brutalist architecture, known for its focus on raw materials and functional design, which helps emphasize the protagonist’s austere tone and emotional background.

Showbiz Galore reported that the production has managed to secure $10 million. While this isn’t an extravagant sum compared to other titles, it has been used wisely, particularly in terms of salaries.

The cast, led by the talented Adrien Brody, also includes Felicity Jones and Joe Alwyn, adding an interesting dynamic and promising high-caliber performances. As expected, the actor from The Pianist is the highest-paid.
