Amanda Seyfried reunites with 'Chloe' director, Atom Egoyan, for upcoming drama SevenVeils.
Coming off a critically acclaimed performance as disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout, Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe Award recipient Amanda Seyfried has landed her next role. The Les Misérables star has signed on to appear in Atom Egoyan’s production of Seven Veils, a drama that the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker will also pen and produce.
In Seven Veils, Seyfried stars as Jeanine, a theater director who has taken on a gargantuan task - reforming her former mentor’s most well-known work, the opera Salome. First based on the play by Oscar Wilde and then reframed by composer Richard Strauss, Jeanine knows that she has some big shoes to fill in putting her own spin on this classic masterpiece. It’s been years since she closed the door to the world of operatic studies, making the challenge all the more daunting.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The project will mark a reunion for the leading lady and filmmaker as the pair previously teamed up over a decade ago for Egoyan’s 2009 thriller, Chloe which saw Seyfried star opposite Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. Serving alongside Egoyan on the production team will be Niv Fichman, Fraser Ash, Simone Urdl, and Kevin Krikst as well as Rhombus Media and Ego Film Arts.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the story, Salome is a Biblical tale that centers around the life of Jokanaan , particularly his attempted seduction by Herod Antipas' daughter, Salome. Her dance, which would become known as the Dance of the Seven Veils, would ultimately lead to the execution of John the Baptist and would in turn have tragic consequences for Salome.
While a release date has not yet been set for Seven Veils, production will begin next week in Toronto, Canada. You can check out the trailer below for Seyfried and Egoyan’s last theatrical team-up, Chloe.
