Roman Polanski’s ‘The Palace’ Sets its Sights on Venice Premiere; Alexander Desplat to Compose the Score

April 25, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

It’s been understood that this one is destined to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

Olivier Masucci has been named the lead of Roman Polanski's latest film, “The Palace,” with Fanny Ardant also joining. As previously reported, Mickey Rourke is also part of the cast.

Alexandre Desplat will be the composer, Polanski’s regular DP Pawel Edelman will be doing photography, and the budget of the film is an unusually high (for euro production) $13.9 million.

”The Palace” has a screenplay written by Polanski and Jerzy Skolimowski. It is currently shooting on location in Gstaad, Switzerland, and will be shopped by Wild Bunch International at the upcoming Cannes market.

The movie is said to take place at a palace in Gstaad on New Year’s Eve in 1999, with “Hotel guests coming from all over the world flock to the lavish dinner party, but the celebrations take an unexpected turn.”

Shooting is planned to wrap in May. If Polanski’s editing is swift enough then we might potentially see it at Venice, that is if Alberto Barbera wants the same headache he got when he premiered “An Officer and a Spy” back in 2019. Polanski ended up winning the Best Director prize that year at Venice.

Reported on 04.04.22:

“Yes, 87-year-old director Roman Polanski keeps making movies, and all the better for it. Americans have never seen the incredible “An Officer and A Spy,” Polanski’s last movie, because no American distributor would dare touch it in this the #MeToo era.

”In late January we were getting word that Polanski was set to direct another film, this one titled “The Palace,” with a story set entirely on December 31st, 1999 in a Swiss hotel. There was confirmation that production would start in March on the film.”
