“The Brutalist” is an upcoming drama directed by Brady Corbet that is packed with A-list stars. In addition to Joe, who will play a mysterious role, the cast includes figures such as Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones.
The script was developed by the filmmaker himself and Mona Fastvold. It narrates 30 years of the life of László Tóth, a Jewish architect born in Hungary who survived the Holocaust. After the end of World War II, he emigrated to the United States with his wife, Erzsébet, to live the American dream.

Initially, László must endure poverty and indignity, but he soon secures a contract with a mysterious and wealthy client that will change the course of his life. Brody will bring the main character to life, while Jones will portray his wife, and Pearce will be Harrison Lee Van Buren.
The director confessed during an interview with Deadline that the film “celebrates the triumphs of the boldest and most accomplished visionaries; our ancestors”, and that the title is by far the closest to his heart and his family history. Therefore, undoubtedly, the plot will be quite emotional and personal.
Hamnet
The film adaptation of “Hamnet“, based on Maggie O’Farrell‘s bestselling novel, has been directed and co-written by Chloé Zhao. Production began in July 2024 in Wales, with a release date anticipated in 2025.
The historical drama delves into the emotional and artistic impact of Hamnet’s death on the Shakespeare family, offering an intimate look at the life of the renowned playwright and his family.
Starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal as Hamnet’s parents, Agnes and William Shakespeare, the cast also includes Joe Alwyn and Emily Watson in prominent roles, though their exact characters have yet to be disclosed.
The novel achieved literary success and was previously adapted into a stage play in the UK. The film version has generated significant interest, especially due to Zhao’s involvement, known for her work on Nomadland.
