Angelina Jolie has been confirmed for the leading role in the film version of Fredrik Backman’s hit book “Anxious People.” In this movie, Jolie will play the character of Zara, a bank robber who lands in a tricky predicament during an open house event.
The upcoming movie is set to be helmed by filmmaker Marc Forster, recognized for his previous projects including “A Man Called Otto” and “World War Z”. As per recent news, the production of this project is slated to commence shortly before the Cannes market, with Black Bear and Hope Studios leading the way.
The main storyline in the upcoming film centers on the character Zara, who unexpectedly takes control during a house tour by keeping everyone present captive. In an unusual twist of events, the attendees form bonds, reveal hidden truths, and strategize their exit—all while evading the authorities.
In the summary of the film, “Anxious People” is presented as a tale revolving around an imaginary crime, a potential bank robber mysteriously vanishing without a trace, and eight individuals who are unusually nervous. These strangers discover they share more similarities than they initially thought. The story, cleverly woven together, delves into the enduring influence of friendship, forgiveness, and optimism – qualities that offer solace, even during the most anxious periods.
As of now, we don’t know which actors will be part of the cast alongside Maria in the upcoming movie. However, the screenplay is being crafted by David Magee, a renowned writer who has worked on films like Life of Pi, A Man Called Otto, and Finding Neverland.
The movie is likewise predicted to bring back the group who worked on “A Man Called Otto,” a film based on a book by Fredrik Backman.
In reference to the forthcoming adaption, producer Wikström Nicastro mentioned, “Fredrik’s novels resonate deeply with our common human experiences, stirring emotions in viewers, and we are honored to bring another touching and amusing rendition of his literary masterpieces to life.
Further details on Anxious People will be announced soon.
