Harris is best known for his work on Mad Men, The Crown and the award winning series Chernobyl. His addition adds depth to a cast that already includes Jennifer Lawrence, Patricia Clarkson and Mads Mikkelsen.
Plot Details and Production
The story follows a married American couple who travel to a small snowy European town to adopt a baby. They check into a cavernous hotel that feels empty and mysterious. Inside they meet a flamboyant singer, a depraved businessman and a charismatic faith healer. The film promises a dreamlike atmosphere where nothing is as it seems. As the couple fight for the baby, they also confront hidden truths about themselves and their relationship.
Martin Scorsese directs the film for Apple Original Films in partnership with Studiocanal. He also produces under his Sikelia Productions banner. The screenplay, written by Patrick Marber, adapts Peter Cameron’s novel of the same name. Production began in Prague and will move to New York City for the final weeks of shooting.
