David Cronenberg Announces New Movie The Shrouds
David Cronenberg, who will be taking his new film Crimes of the Future to Cannes next week, has announced his follow-up project The Shrouds. It's a busy time for the Canadian filmmaker, as Crimes of the Future is becoming one of the most talked-about films to premiere at the upcoming festival, mainly due to its apparently violent content. Cronenberg has said that he expects walkouts during the opening five minutes, which mirrors the events of the 1996 festival where his film Crash was met with similar desertions and boos, although it also received a Special Jury Prize.
By the sound of it, The Shrouds might turn out to be another notch in Cronenberg's Cannes controversy belt. According to Deadline, the new film will feature Cronenberg's Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method collaborator Vincent Cassel as Karsh, a man who invents a device that lets people watch their buried loved ones decompose. Filming for The Shrouds is currently predicted to begin in March 2023 and will be produced by the same team as Cronenberg's last film, Maps To The Stars.
