Ann Lee, a musical starring Amanda Seyfried, Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Christopher Abbott, Tim Blake Nelson, and Stacy Martin, has wrapped filming as of December. Directed by Mona Fastvold and co-written by her and Brady Corbet, the film is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Seyfried describes it as "really crazy," highlighting its unique approach.
Set in 18th century England, Ann Lee draws inspiration from real events and tells the story of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shaker Movement, who is considered a "female Christ" by her followers. Seyfried takes on the titular role amidst an impressive ensemble cast.
Fastvold, who previously directed The World to Come, takes the reins this time while Corbet serves as co-writer and producer. The score will be composed by Daniel Blumberg, fresh off his Oscar win for The Brutalist. With a history of collaboration and a romantic connection spanning over a decade, Fastvold and Corbet continue to shape the indie film landscape.
