Last summer I really enjoyed Lynn Shelton’s mumblecore bromance Humpday. Now she is prepping her next project and Deadline has the scant details.
The “semi-improvised” project has no title yet, but will star Rachel Weisz (The Brothers Bloom, The Constant Gardner) and Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Adjustment Bureau) as sisters. As per usual for Shelton’s film it will only take “a couple of weeks” to shoot.
UPDATE: As expected, mumblecore pioneer Mark Duplass will join the duo, Variety reports. Duplass starred in Humpday and recently co-directed this summer’s Cyrus.
Shelton will also direct an adaptation of Joshua Ferris‘ novel Then We Came To The End for Focus Features. It tells the “story of copy writers at a Chicago ad agency when the dot com bubble bursts in 2001.” She also got some experience with ad agencies shooting a recent episode of Mad Men.
Production will begin late October in Seattle.
Did you like Humpday? What do you think about this project?
