Director Lars von Trier (Antichrist) has announced that he will begin shooting his next movie, the serial killer thriller The House That Jack Built, this August.
According to Variety, “The story is told from his perspective and takes place over ten to twelve years.” Even though the film is going to be set in Washington, it will be shot in four European countries: France, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. Additionally, the cast, “…will be a combination of American and European actors. Two big male characters and four big female characters.”
Louise Vesth, producer from Zentropa, explains, “It will be a serial killer movie like you’ve never seen before. He wants to be able to change it between periods of shooting because when we’ll have done the body of the film in the Fall, he will then go edit it and he sees how he can combine the murders.”
Vesth continues, “He calls it the five incidents, which is the murder cases and then he has a lot of digressions in between to connect the story, in a similar way as in ‘Nymphomaniac.’”
