Helen Hunt and Dustin Hoffman are leading the cast for Peter Greenaway’s new movie: more on it here.
We haven’t seen too much of Dustin Hoffman since his excellent turn in Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories which was a Netflix must-watch movie back in 2017 when it released.
He’s been up to stuff, and Hoffman has made a couple of smaller indie films in the years since but he’s about to step back into the spotlight, not least because he is set to appear in Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s high-profile return to filmmaking that we imagine will be releasing next year.
It has also been announced that Hoffman will be working with the British filmmaker Peter Greenaway, whose artsy projects don’t usually feature Hollywood icons in them.

Oscar winners Dustin Hoffman and Helen Hunt are attached to star in Peter Greenaway’s drama “Lucca Mortis,” which has started filming in the Tuscan city of Lucca.
The new film by the 81-year-old iconoclastic British filmmaker and artist — known for arthouse hits such as “The Draughtsman’s Contract,” “The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover” and “The Pillow Book” — is the tale of a New York writer (Hoffman), who in in 2001, following the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, takes a sabbatical to visit Lucca in search of his distant Italian origins. “Lucca Mortis” creates a sort of parallelism between the Twin Towers and the towers of Lucca, according to the Tuscany Film Commission website. Other details, including Hunt’s role, are being kept under wraps.
Tuscany Film Commission head Stefania Ippoliti said cameras started rolling earlier this month in Lucca, which is known for its medieval walls and towers,...
