Still cooking
If you were waiting for a status update on the upcoming Eddie Redmayne project with acclaimed director Kore-eda Hirokazu, consider this your reality check: it’s still in the screenplay phase. Kore-eda dropped the update while speaking at a press conference for his latest work, Look Back, at the Busan International Film Festival on Wednesday.
While we don’t have a title yet and plot details are being kept under serious wraps, the filmmaker confirmed that prep work is moving along smoothly. He’s aiming to go public with more concrete info sometime next year, and honestly? Say less. We’ll be waiting.
Why it matters
Kore-eda has been a festival favorite for years, and the pairing of his signature emotional storytelling with Redmayne has major main character energy. Since the project is being produced by Searchlight Pictures, it’s lowkey one of the most anticipated creative team-ups on our radar. We love an artist taking their time to get the script right—it’s giving quality over quantity, and we are here for it.
