Emmy and BAFTA winning actress Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) has signed on to star in the psychological thriller The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh from a script he wrote.
Aside from the film being described as a contemporary psychological thriller, the logline is being kept under wraps. The independently financed film will begin production in August in the UK.
Branagh will re-team with his Belfast producers Tamar Thomas, Laura Berwick, and Becca Kovacik, along with Matthew Jenkins, and Maximum Effort’s Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau. When word got out in recent weeks Branagh had his new project ready to go, the town was a buzz especially since his last original script, Belfast, won him an Oscar. Given how busy Comer is, her quick attachment is a good sign Branagh has another exciting original story in store for audiences.
Comer will next be seen in Jeff Nichols’ upcoming drama, The Bikeriders, alongside Tom Hardy and Austin Butler. The film is set to be released by Focus Features in on June 21, 2024. Comer will soon begin production for director Danny Boyle’s newest installment in the 28 Years Later trilogy, alongside Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell.
