Late Fame: Willem Dafoe & Sandra Huller to Star in Kent Jones Movie

According to Variety, Oscar nominees Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) and Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) have signed on for leading roles in the upcoming drama titled Late Fame. Production on the project is expected to begin sometime this fall in New York City.

Besides Late Fame, Dafoe is also attached to star in a number of high-profile movies, including Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu and Sony’s Saturday Night Live origin movie SNL 1975. As for Hüller, Late Fame marks the German actress’ latest Hollywood project, following her acclaimed back-to-back performances in last year’s Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest.

What to expect from Late Fame?

“The film tells the story of Ed Saxberger (Dafoe), who wrote a book of poetry a long time ago that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscover his work, he must reassess his genius,” reads the synopsis. “The wild card in the group is Gloria (Hüller), a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by Saxberger, this legendary figure from a gritty New York golden age. The story will explore the illusory effect of praise on the soul, and the lingering ghostly presence of the past, whether it’s imagined or vividly remembered.”

Late Fame will be directed by Diane filmmaker Kent Jones from a screenplay written by Oscar-nominated scribe Samy Burch (May December). The film is produced by Pamela Koffler and Christine Vachon through Killer Films. At the moment, the film still currently has no release date and distributor attached to it yet.
