Riley Keough and Callum Turner are swooping in to save the day! They’ve just joined the cast of Karim Aïnouz’s Rosebush Pruning (which, no, is not about gardening — sorry, green thumbs). These two lucky souls are stepping in for Kristen Stewart and Josh O’Connor, who were originally set to prune bushes… I mean, star in the movie. But alas, it seems the Hollywood schedule monster has struck again, because Kristen and Josh had to swap their shears for other projects.
Kristen Stewart is off making a splash (probably quite literally) in post-production for her artsy film, The Chronology of Water. Josh O’Connor? Well, who knows — maybe he’s busy playing poker with the Queen. But no worries, Elle Fanning is still on board and is presumably somewhere in Spain living her best life on set.
Now, if you’re feeling heartbroken over the casting switch, don’t despair — because this movie’s lineup just keeps getting juicier. Joining the madness are Jamie Bell, Lukas Gage, Tracy Letts, Elena Anaya, and, wait for it… Pamela Anderson! Yes, you read that right. The queen of slow-mo beach running is making her way into a psychological drama. Things are about to get wild, people.
Now, what’s Rosebush Pruning all about? Glad you asked. It’s based on Marco Bellochio’s Fists in the Pocket, a 50-year-old psychological rollercoaster that makes your family drama look like a tea party. Picture this: a young guy, fed up with his dysfunctional family’s quirks and baggage, decides to take some “drastic measures” to clean house. No, this doesn’t involve calling a therapist or hosting an intervention — we’re talking extreme solutions. So, yeah, fasten your seatbelts, because this isn’t just your typical “let’s talk about our feelings” kind of movie.
Roses, thorns, family issues, and a cast so star-studded, they should start their own constellation. Stay tuned!
