Watch out for William Oldroyd’s “Eileen.” The film stars Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie and is said to revolve around “a woman's friendship with a new co-worker at the prison facility where she works. Then things takes a sinister turn.” [via Jason]

One of the year's most promising titles W/O distribution and likely to be released in 2022 (think I TONYA) is EILEEN starring Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie. William Oldroyd's follow-up to Lady Macbeth and from the My Year of Rest and Relaxation author is gaining LOTS of buzz

I was won over with Oldroyd’s debut feature, 2017’s “Lady Macbeth,” so much so that I decided to interview him during that fall’s TIFF. I was also correct in my assessment that we need to “get ready for star-in-the-making Florence Pugh.” It’s just a very undervalued film and Oldroyd’s latest has just climbed up on my fall must-see list. I didn’t even know it was shot.

In my Lady Macbeth review, I wrote:

“Oldroyd has reinvented the genre by injecting a much needed dosage of adrenaline. “Lady Macbeth” is a thriller masquerading as a period piece The critics were unanimous in their praise and Roadside quickly snatched it up not too long after. You’re in for a real treat.”
