Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life), Joel Edgerton (Warrior) and William Hurt (Into the Wild) will star in a new double feature project from Myriad Pictures.
The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Hers will explore a couple’s relationship during a difficult time in their marriage from both sides.
Written and directed by Ted Benson (In Defence of Gravity), both films will be stand-alone features, with Myriad CEO Kirk D’Amico saying, “We have to make both films work on their own, both for the buyers but also for the audiences.”
It’s certainly an ambitious idea, but it’s unlikely Chastain, Edgerton and Hurt would agree to sign on anything underdeveloped, as all three seem to be reasonably picky when it comes to taking on roles.
Myriad will pitch the project to prospective buyers at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin, so expect it to be a while before this one gets off the ground.
