It’s officially time to get hyped because Kristen Stewart and Olivier Assayas are reuniting for a new project, and honestly? The vibes are immaculate. The duo, who previously gave us masterpieces like Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper, are working together again for an upcoming film titled Spiritual World.
According to reports, the project is giving major Personal Shopper energy, but with a steamier twist. Kristen Stewart is set to play a clairvoyant woman dealing with some serious haunting and mysterious premonitions.
She’s not the only big name on the call sheet, though. The cast is absolutely stacked, including Riley Keough, Wagner Moura, Vicky Krieps, Barbara Sukowa, and Niels Schneider. Filming is scheduled to kick off this February across France and Germany.
Assayas is teaming up with producer Olivier Delbosc for this one, and with their track record, we know they’re going to eat. Whether he’s directing spy thrillers or supernatural dramas, Assayas is basically the main character of auteur cinema right now. Say less—we are already seated for this.
Why it matters
This film marks another major milestone for Stewart, who has been killing it lately with both her acting roles and her own directorial debut, The Chronology of Water. Seeing her reunite with a director who clearly brings out the best in her creative range is a massive W for fans of indie-leaning, high-concept cinema.
