Good news, movie buffs! If you can’t wait for Karim Aïnouz’s upcoming “Rosebushpruning”, you’re in for a casting surprise. You might know that our Twilight star, Kristen Stewart, and The Crown‘s Josh O’Connor were set to star in this movie. But plot twist! Both actors have hopped off this project. Don’t worry though, because starlit, Riley Keough, and talented, Callum Turner, are filling in these shoes.

Changes in the Cast List

They say change is the spice of life – that’s certainly true in the case of “Rosebushpruning”. Stewart is neck-deep in her passion project, “The Chronology of Water”. The buzz in town is that this movie could premiere at Sundance 2025. On the other hand, Josh O’Connor will be working with Kelly Reichardt on “The Mastermind” from October. There’s also a rumor of him shaking hands with Steven Spielberg for “The Dish”, starting in February 2025.

As we wave goodbye to Stewart and O’Connor, Riley Keough, and Callum Turner are ready to bring their unique talents to “Rosebushpruning”. With these new entrants, we can’t help but look forward to some exciting performances.

The Journey Continues

Despite these changes, other cast members are steady in their commitment to the project. So, we’ll still see Elle Fanning, Jamie Bell, Pamela Anderson, and Tracy Letts gracing our screens.

Present Status of the Movie

Amid all these updates, “Rosebushpruning” has kicked off its filming in Spain. Not only that, it’s also looking forward to a Cannes 2025 selection, isn’t that cool? Although Aïnouz may have had a couple of misses with 2023’s “Firebrand” and 2024’s “Motel Destino”, we’re rooting for “Rosebushpruning”.

The Plot Thickens

If twisting plots and secretive stories are your cup of tea, then “Rosebushpruning” is just for you. Based on Marco Bellochio’s classic “Fists in the Pocket”, this movie tells the chilling story of a family, battling with hereditary diseases in the secluded corners of a rural estate. The drama heightens with the character of Alessandro, a young man with epilepsy and paranoid tendencies, causing some creepy accidents and murders.

Aïnouz’s Big Comeback

Did you know “Rosebushpruning” is set to be Aïnouz’s ninth feature? Maybe his magic will win over Cannes this time, just like it did with 2019’s “The Invisible Life.”. His other memorable works include “The Silver Cliff” and “Futuro Beach”.

So there you have it! While we’ll miss Stewart and O’Connor on the set, the talented new additions and the remaining dynamic cast have us excited about Aïnouz’s newest venture. Stay tuned for more updates on “Rosebushpruning”!
