Jessica Lange Says ‘Long Day's Journey Into Night' Film Is “Finally Finished"

May 21, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer-winning play “Long Day's Journey Into Night” was recently adapted into a film, helmed by noted theater director Jonathan Kent, in his feature debut. This latest version, starring Jessica Lange, Ed Harris and Ben Foster, wrapped filming in November 2022.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Lange was cryptic, but also not very hopeful about the current status of the film. It sounded like there were some behind the scenes issues:

Who knows if it will ever come out. It’s in some weird limbo. It’s not finished.

Now, two years later, that end looks near. "It's finally finished," Lange, 75, tells PEOPLE "You'll be able to see it in theaters."

I was wondering what was going on with this film. We hadn’t heard much of an update about it. It sounds like it’s been finally completed. When asked if was a “money issue” that’s been holding back the film, Lange answered with a confused tone “I don’t know what it is, exactly. Money? Differences of opinion?”

As initially reported by the New York Times, back in the fall of 2022, filming was briefly halted on the film, after just a few days of shooting, when a financier unexpectedly exited the project. It started back up a few days later when BKStudios came into the picture.

In the adaptation, set during a long and contentious day in 1912 Connecticut, Lange plays Mary Tyrone, the morphine-addicted matriarch of the Tyrone family; she previously played the role in 2016 on Broadway, which was also directed by Kent, and won a Tony for her work. Harris will play her husband, James, an aging actor who fears he's led his family into financial ruin. Ben Foster is their alcoholic elder son, Jamie.

O’Neill’s play has been adapted multiple times for the big screen, including, most notably, in 1962 by filmmaker Sidney Lumet who delivered a near 3-hour tour de force.
