‘One Day’ actor, Leo Woodall and ‘Black Adam’ star Quintessa Swindell have been set to lead Apple TV+’s conspiracy thriller ‘Prime Target’.
The eight-episode series features a brilliant young math post-graduate, Edward Brooks, played by Woodall, on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders, a female Nsa agent, played by Swindell, who’s been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behaviour. Together they start to piece the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.

BFI Distribution has picked up Tilda Swinton and Joanna Hogg’s latest collaboration, The Eternal Daughter, for theatrical release in the UK and Ireland.
The pic will hit cinemas this autumn and form the centerpiece of a Joanna Hogg retrospective season hosted at BFI Southbank that will also include a programme of films that have influenced her work.
The Eternal Daughter is the BFI’s second acquisition from A24, following the Irish drama God’s Creatures, starring Paul Mescal and Emily Watson earlier this year. The film also marks Hogg and Swinton’s third collaboration following the acclaimed two-part Souvenir series, which starred Swinton’s daughter Honor Swinton Byrne.
Written and directed by Hogg with Martin Scorsese once again on board as Executive Producer, the film follows an artist and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past.

How did this emotional sketch become a movie? Tilda Swinton and Joanna Hogg, born on March 20, 1960 in London, England, UK and known for writing and directing The Souvenir (2019), The Souvenir: Part II (2021) and Unrelated (2007), all produced by Emma Norton of Jwh Films, are favored by the charmed circle of rich white seemingly heterosexual men like Martin Scorsese (Sikelia Productions), David Fenkel and Daniel Katz (A24), and British vet producer Ed Guiney (Element Pictures). This is all conjuncture on my part, as it was when I wrote about the deal behind Triangle of Sadness, but the sketchiness of this and the formulaic quality of Triangle, coupled with the stellar names of those involved in the production lead me to believe there was more to the making of the movie deal than there is to the movie itself. In The Eternal Daughter, these men have chosen to celebrate womanhood as expressed by a particular female filmmaker as she attempts to create a story about herself and her mother plus one kindly black bereaved man played by Joseph Mydell (there is a hint of something about slavery here) and a cold modern young woman played by Carly-Sophia Davies whose heart also melts at the pathos of the celebate and lonely filmmaker, who actually is not pathetic but apparently just creatively alive. Watch the trailer here and then watch the movie and judge for yourself: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13874422/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Together these men must have brought the film to Kristin Irving of the BBC where it got made, somewhat along the same lines as highly touted The Souvenir which landed BBC Films with funds from BFI Film Fund and was also produced by Jwh Films, again in association with Scorsese’s incubator Sikelia. This time Protagonist Pictures was the international sales agent and A24 only distributed in North America. Its sequel, The Souvenir Part II stars real-life mother and daughter Tilda Swinton and Honor Swinton Byrne, a conceit which perhaps gave life to the idea of another mother-and-daughter movie in which both roles are played by Tilda Swinton and which was made by the same team plus Ed Guiney of Element Pictures. A24 has now taken on both international sales and US rights. All of these films must have made 2 cents at the box office. What’s up? What is Tilda Swinton herself up to these days? Her previous film Three Thousand Years of Yearning by stalwart filmmaker George Miler sold to more interternational distributors in 2021 and 2022 than the Jwh films did, but it still must not have fared much better at the box office. (Read my blon on that here.) The short by Almodovar, The Human Voice, was a little gem, showing off Swinton’s accomplished acting skills as she enacted the remake of Cocteau’s The Human Voice under strict Covid protocols. But none of these reaches the new heights always expected of her…We’ll see what her next four films The End (pre-production) by Joshua Oppenheimer, Asteroid City (post-production) by Wes Anderson, The Killer (post-production) by David Fincher, and an Untitled Julio Torres Project (post-production) bring to the audiences who eagerly await whatever she does (count me among them). The Eternal Daughter has been described as a mystery drama and as a ghost story about “a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery.” But there are no ghosts nor is there much of a mystery beyond why a mother and daughter have an eternal and universal tension between them, as most mothers and daughters do. Nor is the nearly vacant hotel ever revealed to be the ancestral home, nor is there much of a mystery about a banging shutter which keeps Tilda the daughter up at night. And whence cometh the acclaim of Joanna Hogg? Perhaps it was Covid. Dare I argue with the top film festivals and critics whom Rotten Tomatoes scored at 95%? Who are these critics? How many males among them? All Swinton has to do is attach her name to a project and it will be made — with male money. The film does truly touch emotions felt by every daughter trying to hard to please a mother who cannot express her own desires or her own heartfelt love for her daughter. But this situation makes the daughter seem pathetic except in her own creative mind as she grapples with the dilemna of The Eternal Duaghter. But what is the story here? That a writer’s imagination trumps reality? Are we so starved for emotional experiences that such a sketch brings us to tears? Am I horribly out of touch with the universe? Another film which touches this same raw nerve is Charlotte Wells’ Aftersun. Where have I gone wrong? Compare this to Eo, a film with no ersatz emotion and created to produce an emotion the director Jerzy Skolomowski had not felt since he saw Au Hasard Balthazar in 1966. Read my blog and his quotations. I am longing for the days of Angelopoulos, of Terence Davies or even Peter Greenaway. Give me hard art, not oblique emotional sketches, playing like the little musical phrase that Proust’s Swann held so dear as a reminder of his lost love. Postscript: An interesting article by Carlos Aguilar appeared in the LA Times shortly after I published this. It explains the long friendship between Tilda Swinton and Joanna Hogg. At first I thought it negated my negative take on the deal, but on second reading, I decided that it only added another tier to the dealmaking process which is that Tilda swings her own weight and can bring in her friend to the circle of dealmaking whereas before, Hogg remained in the background of the art film world.

Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter is, among other things, a spiritual sequel to her exquisite recent films The Souvenir (2019) and The Souvenir Part II (2021). Those movies studied a fledgling filmmaker named Julie Hart, who, bearing some autobiographical resemblance to Hogg herself, wound her way through memories of dating a charismatic, troubled drug addict, attending film school in England in the 1980s, and trying to carve out an artistic identity for herself under the conflicted but supportive eye of her parents and friends. In those movies, Julie was played by Honor Swinton Byrne.

When director Joanna Hogg embarked on her journey to find a location for her atmospheric, vaguely Gothic ghost story "The Eternal Daughter," she was looking for a place that would give her the creeps. So, quite naturally, she began searching on the internet for haunted manors in the United Kingdom. She explained in an interview with RogerEbert.com that she:
"...was Googling houses around the country, and it was very much about finding an image of a building that made me feel a little bit scared. So I looked at Scotland, I looked in Cornwall. I looked at the most haunted houses in the UK. Then I saw an image of Soughton Hall in north Wales, and it just looked frightening, but also very beautiful."
Although Soughton Hall doesn't seem as though it's populated by any actual ghosts, it is haunted by something perhaps more poignantly in line with the narrative of this film: memories.

The holiday season is now upon us, and it seems only right that we’re heading into December with a brand new Christmas-themed genre movie arriving in theaters later this week.
I’m of course talking about the David Harbour-starring Violent Night, which features the “Stranger Things” actor as an ass-kicking version of none other than Santa himself.
But that’s not the only new genre movie arriving this week…
Here’s all the new horror headed down the chimney November 28 – December 4, 2022!
This week is all quiet on the horror front until Thursday, December 1, which kicks off with the release of The Harbinger, which has been favorably compared to Nightmare on Elm Street.

A24 will be giving the ghost story The Eternal Daughter a domestic theatrical release on December 2nd, and with that date just one month away they have unveiled the film’s trailer. You can check it out in the embed above.
Written and directed by Joanna Hogg (Unrelated), The Eternal Daughter was executive produced by Martin Scorsese and sees Tilda Swinton playing the dual role of an artist and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past.
Swinton and Hogg previously worked together on the 2019 film The Souvenir, its 2021 follow-up The Souvenir: Part II, and the 1986 short film Caprice. They made The Eternal Daughter in secret in Wales during the pandemic lockdown. Swinton is joined in the cast of this one by Joseph Mydell (Tonight You’re Mine), Carly-Sophia Davies (Midsomer Murders), and newcomers Zinnia Davies-Cooke,...

Reality can be extremely deceptive, especially when you're watching a trailer for the latest film from Joanna Hogg. The acclaimed writer-director is back with a reality-distorting feature called "The Eternal Daughter." The film — which many have dubbed a spiritual successor to "The Souvenir" and "The Souvenir- Part II" — follows an artist and her elderly mother on a trip to a hotel haunted by their past. There, they will be forced to confront the long-buried secrets of their complex relationship.
It may not be your traditional ghost story, but "The Eternal Daughter" looks haunting all the same — in large part because of a bold casting move from Hogg. Tilda Swinton is pulling double duty in this film, playing both mother and daughter in the film, which certainly contributes to the eerie atmosphere. Mother-daughter relationships are rarely simple, least of all when Hogg is penning the screenplay.

"The longer we're here, the more it comes back – the dread." A24 has revealed the first official trailer for the film The Eternal Daughter, a mysterious sort of ghost story drama from filmmaker Joanna Hogg. After finishing her autobiographical series The Souvenir and The Souvenir: Part II, Hogg made this one with Tilda Swinton starring again in what is essentially the same universe as these two other films. In this ghost story from acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg, a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother must confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery. This first premiered at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, and it also played at TIFF, Zurich, London, and the New York Film Festival. Starring Swinton in two lead roles, with Joseph Mydell and Carly-Sophia Davies. Much like the two Souvenir films, this won't be for everyone,...

Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter begins like so many Gothic stories before it: a car driving along a foggy backwoods road en route to a nearly deserted mansion. The house in question is actually a hotel – one where Julie (Tilda Swinton) and her mother (also Swinton) will be staying for a few days to celebrate the latter’s birthday. The vibe, however, is moody: Julie is told by their cab driver that an old woman’s ghostly face has been seen in the window and when they arrive, the place looks dark and shuttered.
At various points throughout the film, it’s clear that something is amiss. Julie can’t sleep because of a recurring banging sound, there appear to be no other guests, and there’s no wifi signal. Even Julie’s calls to her (never seen) husband drop regularly, suggesting she and mother are almost completely cut off from the outside world.

Toronto is in spite of itself in a civilized sort of way in competition for the premieres with Venice, though the sequential festivals are serving different constituencies. Still, The Whale, for example is premiering in Venice and then traveling to TIFF.
TIFF Gala Presentations:
The Whale directed by Darren Aronofsky, produced and to be distributed in U.S. and actng as international sales agent A24.
TIFF says: “Brendan Fraser gives a career-defining performance in Darren Aronofsky’s arrestingly intimate drama about a reclusive English professor struggling with personal relationships and self-acceptance, adapted from the stage play by Samuel D. Hunter.”
Alice, Darling by Mary Nighy
Also playing are Alice, Darling (Mary Nighy) in which Anna Kendrick captures the anxious psychology of a woman in an abusive relationship as her friends try to reconnect with her while on a cottage getaway.
Black Ice(Hubert Davis) about Black hockey players facing systemic racism in the sport.
The Greatest Beer Run Ever (Peter Farrelly) about man’s story of leaving New York in 1967 to bring beer to his childhood buddies in the Army while they are fighting in Vietnam. An Apple TV+ production.
Butcher’s Crossing (Gabe Polsky) is a frontier epic about an Ivy League drop-out as he travels to the Colorado wilderness, where he joins a team of buffalo hunters on a journey that puts his life and sanity at risk. Based on the highly acclaimed novel by John Williams. Isa Altitude

After the success of her paired portrait-of-the-artist features The Souvenir and The Souvenir Part II, British writer-director Joanna Hogg takes a stylistic swerve with The Eternal Daughter, a melancholy winter’s tale with horror elements.
It’s effectively a third chapter in the Souvenir story, one that jumps into the present day after the 1980s setting of Part II. This time, Tilda Swinton takes over the role of Hogg’s fictional avatar Julie (originally played by Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton Byrne) and also reprises the role of Julie’s contained, genteel mother Rosalind, affording the actor a chance to indulge her enthusiasm for complex hair and make-up disguises. The two women travel to a remote hotel in Wales for a sentimental journey, one that stirs up both happy and unhappy memories. In the end, it plays a little too often like an...

Venice film festival: Swinton plays both mother and daughter in a moving and disconcerting move into pseudo horror from the director of The Souvenir
There’s real intimacy and emotional generosity to this psychological mystery from Joanna Hogg – a personal movie which appears to come from the same universe as her earlier Souvenir films – or one very much like it.
It’s a ghost story whose purpose is something other than scaring you, a film about the enigma of your parents’ lives, their unknowable existences before you were born and indeed after you were born; that feeling that your parents are simultaneously as familiar as a pair of old slippers and yet also a Sphinx-riddle, withholding from you the meaning of your life and death. And perhaps the only way of cracking the code, solving the problem, is finally to become your mum or dad, to feel what they feel from the inside,...

The 79th Venice Film Festival has its work cut out.
This year’s Cannes Film Festival set the bar high with a combination of flashy Hollywood blockbusters — Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis — and buzzy art house and independent films, including Ruben Östlund’s socially satiric Palme d’Or Winner Triangle of Sadness, David Cronenberg’s freaky sci-fi dystopia Crimes of the Future, and Park Chan-wook’s mystery masterpiece Decision to Leave.
If Venice is to retain its crown as the go-to festival for awards-season contenders — last year’s Lido lineup included Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog, which went on to win this year’s Oscar for best director, as well as Denis Villeneuve’s six-fold Oscar winner Dune — it will have to match Cannes with just the right mix of prestige auteur titles and red carpet glamour.

An under-the-radar project that saw Joanna Hogg reteam with muse Tilda Swinton, the filmmaker also brought back cinemtaographer Ed Rutherford (they worked on Archipelago (2010) and Exhibition (2013) together), Hogg fanboy Martin Scorsese (once again an executive producer) and the A24 folks (the distributor who backed both The Souvenir films) into the fold. Filmed in late 2020 in Wales and also starring first time thesp Carly-Sophia Davies and Joseph Mydell, The Eternal Daughter unpacks a story about a dwelling that is restless. A24 have so many items ready for 2022, and while the chances are low, Hogg did have a great premiere for The Souvenir.…...

Exclusive: Here’s a hot one. A24 has boarded world rights to under-the-radar ghost story The Eternal Daughter, starring Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton.
Shot in secret in Wales during lockdown, the project re-teams Swinton with director Joanna Hogg after they recently collaborated on lauded Sundance movie The Souvenir and the upcoming The Souvenir Part 2, which will debut later this year.
The mystery-drama, currently in post-production, will chart the story of a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother who must confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery.
The film is produced by Normal People, The Favourite and Room producers Element Pictures and Jwh Films, with development and production backing from BBC Film. As he did on The Souvenir, Martin Scorsese serves as executive producer.
Cast is also understood to include Joseph Mydell, Carly Davies and Alfie Sankey-Green.

With upcoming films directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, George Miller, Wes Anderson, and Joanna Hogg on her slate, Tilda Swinton is only beaten out by Léa Seydoux when it comes to the highest number of entries in our most-anticipated films of 2021 list. The British actress is continuing to stay busy, reteaming with one of the aforementioned directors, along with another newly announced project.
After beginning her career with Joanna Hogg, Swinton reteamed with the director for The Souvenir and will be seen in her follow-up The Souvenir: Part II alongside her daughter, Honor Swinton Byrne, who leads the film as an aspiring filmmaker. Now, Swinton has revealed in UK Vogue’s February 2021 issue that she’s reteamed once again with Hogg for another new project, which was already shot on location in Wales.
While she gives no additional details in the interview, we did some more digging and it looks like...

Of all the absurd romantic comedy setups, two clashing rock stars being handcuffed together at a music festival is pretty random. Morello (Natalia Tena) and her fellow punk girl rockers out of nowhere antagonize Adam (Luke Treadaway) and his electropop rocker buddy Tyko (Mathew Baynton) before the two have even had a chance to get out of their car. A crazy preacher (Joseph Mydell) shows up to calm down these angry young people, but when Adam refuses to say he’s sorry, the preacher handcuffs him to Morello and disposes of the key.
All of this occurs in the first five minutes of the film, before any sort of characters have been truly established—or even the setting established. The two are, of course, unable to find anyway to break the handcuffs and thus spend 24 hours together, performing on stage and hanging out with their significant others. Adam is dating...

Not many films are set at music festivals. D.A. Pennebaker’s documentary, “Monterey Pop” is vital, we’ll grant you, and other rock docs that expose something fundamental about the artists they’re profiling (“Don’t Look Back,” “Gimme Shelter”) remain compelling portraits of some of the most important artists of the twentieth-century. But, much like stand-up comedy or running for high office, fictional recreations of what compels a human being to get up onstage in front of thousands of people and expose themselves to the public at large, are far and few between.
With this in mind we turn to “You Instead,” which is director David Mackenzie’s seventh feature film, not that you’d known it from anything on display here. It has all the manufactured, forcible ‘fun’ of a T-Mobile flash-mob advert although it attempts to weave a spontaneous star-cross’d romance out of a happenstance meeting...

The watershed documentaries 'Woodstock' and 'Gimme Shelter' established the extremes of music festival movies, from the highs of peace, love, drugs and nudity, to the lows of overzealous security guards beating a man to death.
The fictional feature 'You Instead,' shot on location in four-and-a-half days at the real-life T in the Park festival in Scotland, definitely leans toward 'Woodstock' rather than 'Gimme Shelter.' The film, which had its North American Premiere at SXSW, deftly captures the pleasant vibe of a gigantic summertime festival where no humans or animals were harmed.
Adam (Luke Treadaway) and Morello (Natalia Tena) meet cute when they're handcuffed together shortly after they arrive separately at the festival. They're both musicians; he's part of a duo called The Make with his mate Tyko (Matthew Baynton), and she's a member of the female quartet The Dirty Pinks.
