Tilda Swinton, George MacKay and Stephen Graham to be directed by director Joshua Oppenheimer for the musical The End
It seems that in 2022 the shooting of the musical The End directed by documentary director Joshua Oppenheimer, known for his documentaries on the Cambodian massacre nominated for the Oscars, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence.
Almost nothing is known about the project, the plot will revolve around the last human family in a post-apocalyptic scenario and will be staged as an “old-fashioned musical”, but that’s the only news we have.
Sara the first feature film for the director. It is probably the same musical that Oppenheimer mentioned, in 2019 in an interview with Indiewire:
I’m working on what looks like a totally different project, a musical, but it’s actually about guilt and several times I’ve come back to think about what I learned from making those films. It has something to do with how we can hurt each other in ways that change becomes too painful, because change is about facing who we are. There is a moral warning in the guilt that I explored in Indonesia, which I think is what happens when we hurt people so badly that afterwards we can’t look at each other, we take refuge in rejection and prevent ourselves from changing. So I’m thinking about those movies every day.
NEON has acquired the distribution rights in North America. Final Cut for Real’s Signe Byrge Sørensen will be in production alongside Oppenheimer himself, Wild Atlantic Pictures and Match Factory Productions.
