After a cast was set in place earlier this year, it looks like production on Liv Ullmann‘s first feature film since 2000’s Faithless went off without a hitch. Led by Terrence Malick alums Jessica Chastain and Colin Farrell, we’ve now got our first look at the adaptation of August Strindberg‘s play Miss Julie.
Coming from Screen Daily, who recently stopped by the set, one can see Chastain below in the the 1874-set film that follows a woman trying to escape an existence cramped by social mores who is suddenly drawn to a senior servant (played by Farrell, above). Also featuring Samantha Morton as the cook of the house, her role is set to be expanded from the original play, and Ullmann has also added flashbacks of our lead character. Hoping to get acquisition at Cannes, see the images above and below and return for updates as they come in.
Expect a 2014 release for Miss Julie.
