- THE DISAPPEARNCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY (DOUBLE FEATURE)
Jessica Chastain |
Academy
Award-nominee Jessica Chastain (The Help, The Tree of Life) and Joel Edgerton
(Warrior) have signed on to star in a double-feature film project for Myriad
Pictures: The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His, and The Disappearance of
Eleanor Rigby: Hers.
The love story
explores a New York City couple’s relationship during a difficult time in their
marriage, from the different perspective of the husband, (Edgerton), a
restaurant owner, and of the wife (Chastain), who goes back to college. Academy
Award-winner and 5-time nominee William Hurt (The Kiss of the Spider Woman,
Syriana) is in discussion to join the cast.
Ned Benson (In
Defiance of Gravity) wrote the two scripts and will direct both films.
Kirk D’Amico, CEO
of Myriad Pictures, will be bringing the project to Berlin next week. “Ned has
created rich and engaging characters. They are complex, and it is unique to
have two different scripts to tell the story. It doesn’t matter which script
you read first, you absolutely want to read the other perspective," he
said.

"The
Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" also represents an alternate approach to
content, which D’Amico feels is relevant with the changing distribution models.
“It is possible to consider making films in a completely different way than the
single production method one film at a time. We’re intrigued also to work with
our distributors to discover what kind of releasing and promotional options may
arise.”
But both films will
be stand-alone movies. D’Amico added, “We have to make both films work on their
own, both for the buyers but also for the audiences. Together these films will
describe a fully, more complete look at these characters and their lives.”
That’s really interesting
and we think that these two film will be worth waiting for…
