Pedro Almodรณvar to Executive Produce Pamela Anderson & Guy Pearceโค in New Musical Thriller ‘Queen of โthe Falls‘
Los Angeles,โ CA – Pedro Almodรณvar has signed on as an executive producer for “Queenโ ofโข the โขFalls,”โ a forthcoming musical crime thrillerโ starring Pamela Anderson and Guy Pearce.โข the project,โ directedโค by Raniaโ Attieh and Daniel Garcia, promises โa blend of romance,โ vengeance, and music, โคdescribed as “an explosionโฃ of love and fear, of whimsy and wonder and of violence and death.”
Attieh and Garcia, who previously won the “Someone to โWatch” Self-reliant Spiritโ Award for thier 2014 film “H” and received a nomination at โคthe 2019 Tribeca Film โfestival for “Initials S.G.” (where attieh won the Nora Ephron โPrize), โขenvision โthe โขfilm as a “love-on-the-run odyssey.” Theyโข stated, “At itS heart, ‘Queen of the Falls’โ is a story of one woman’s survival disguised as a romance. Laced with betrayal, vengeance, murderโ and โขmusic, it is a tale that will โฃtake us on a journey that is equal parts love story, fever dream and tragedy;โค one that is haunted by pop music, cheap โAmericana and the ghost of romanceโ itself.”
paul Thomas Anderson, who initiated discussions about the project with Attieh and garcia โsome time ago, expressed his enthusiasm for the musical โelements, noting they โfelt like a “natural โextension” given โคthe filmmakers’ previous work. “Music has always โintrigued me and though this film is clearly โnot a typical musical,the musical elements areโข inspiring โand unexpected,” Anderson said.
The film’s music will be composedโ by Grammy and BAFTA award winner Marius De Vries (“La La Land,”โค “Moulin Rouge”), โwith choreography byโ Celia Rowlsonโค Hall (“The Testament of anne Lee,”โ “Aftersun”).Sueโฃ Jacobs (“Promising Young Woman,” “American hustle”) will supervise the music.
Anderson โalso praised his co-star, Guy Pearce, stating, “Guyโฃ is someone I can’t wait to โwork with. he is a brilliantโ actor and has taken โthis on with full force. We are in โขthis together.โ it’s been a long road,โ and will be a delicate continuous โขjourney withโ dedicated readiness to blend the musical aspects โคin amongst thisโ wild and โchallenging love-on-the-run โขstyle, raw and whimsical story.”
Fabien Westerhoff ofโค Global Constellation described the film as “somthing truly original and deeply โฃcinematic, part crimeโค caper, part love story, that’s as intimate as itโฃ is epic.” โBothโฃ Anderson and pearceโค are represented by CAA.
