Brady Corbet’s ‘The Brutalist’ Now Has A Totally Different Cast

March 27, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” was supposed to star Vanessa Kirby, Mark Rylance and Marion Cotillard. Sadly, because of all the delays this film’s had, we have a new batch of actors currently shooting this film.

It looks as though we’ll now have to settle with Adrian Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones. Not too shabby.

It does sound almost too good to be true, but Corbet’s “The Brutalist” is happening and, apparently, started production two weeks ago. I was sure this one was dead, but it’s alive!

Here’s the official synopsis:

A visionary architect and his wife flee post-war Europe to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America. However, their lives are changed forever by a mysterious and wealthy client.

The film was announced back in September of 2020 and ever since then it’s been total radio silence, until now.

Corbet has directed two films, including 2018’s “Vox Lux,” which caused a real stir at Venice — very strong first half, but ambitiously missed second half was my verdict. It still showcased an immensely talented filmmaker who had already shown great promise with his first film, 2015’s “The Childhood of A Leader.”

Is it too ambitious to think that “The Brutalist” will get released this year? Production is supposed to wrap late April/early May. If Corbet plays it fast, he could even return to Venice in September.
