Golden Globe nominee Dennis Quaid is officially joining the This Blue Is Mine cast for HanWay Films’ forthcoming psychosexual sci-fi drama movie about a grieving woman who finds herself drawn to her father’s mysterious new girlfriend, who might be an alien.
Per Variety, Quaid has been cast for one of the major roles in This Blue Is Mine. He is set to portray a carefree man who enjoys living a lavish lifestyle. Quaid will be joining previously announced leading stars Zazie Beetz and Elizabeth Debicki. Prior to his casting, The Parent Trap alum was most recently seen at the 77th Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere of his body horror movie The Substance, which also stars Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
“Dennis Quaid is such a great talent, and it has been exciting to see him in Cannes enjoying the buzz and excitement around The Substance,” HanWay CEO Gabrielle Stewart said in a statement. “He is a great addition to the film.”
What to expect from This Blue Is Mine?
This Blue is Mine will be directed by Brazilian filmmaker Iuli Gerbase (The Pink Cloud). In addition to starring, Beetz will also serve as an executive producer. The film will be produced and financed by Marissa McMahon and Ashley Schlaifer for Kamala Films. Chelsea Ellis Bloch and Marisol Roncali have been tapped to oversee the project on behalf of Atomic Honey. Meanwhile, HanWay Films is handling the film’s international sales. Production will take place in Colombia this August and September.
“Set amidst a family holiday at a tropical resort, the film begins when Arthur, a guilt-free bon viveur, surprises everyone by bringing his new beautiful and enigmatic girlfriend, Ivy (Debicki). Ivy’s arrival and her odd behavior throws the already delicate dynamics off balance with Arthur and his daughters. Connie (Beetz) is still recovering from the trauma of a recent miscarriage and her older half-sister Laura can be a bit suffocating in her efforts to support her,” reads the synopsis.
“One evening, after Connie gets very drunk, Ivy quietly reveals to her that she’s actually an alien visiting Earth. While Laura is quick to write Ivy off as an aspiring trophy wife, Ivy’s strangeness makes Connie, and with her, the audience, question if she could actually be an alien. Before she knows it, Connie is being seduced by Ivy and invited to follow her back to her planet, an invitation that sounds more seductive as the family drama heightens. But is Ivy really an alien? Or is Connie having a mental breakdown? Connie may have to take a leap of faith.”
