Julianne Moore and Sandra Oh are set to star in Stone Mattress, to be directed by Lynne Ramsay.
The film will be based on the acclaimed New Yorker short story by Margaret Atwood.
Described as a "blue-chip revenge thriller set on a cruise ship in the Arctic," Stone Mattress is aiming to shoot in September on location in Greenland and Iceland. Amazon is likely to get distribution rights.
Film synopsis: [Spoiler (click to open)]Moore will play Verna, a 60-year-old retired physiotherapist and twice a widow, who embarks on a luxurious cruise into the magnificent and silently thawing Arctic Northwest Passage, populated by a crowd of privileged influencers and wealthy retirees.
On the ship, Verna meets the friendly and charming Grace (Oh), and the seemingly ordinary Bob (casting in process), an unaccompanied man in his mid-sixties who inherited a family business. Although he doesn’t have a fraction of Verna’s elegance and wit, Bob tries to seduce her. But he might not be the foolish yet harmless man he initially appears to be, and his presence troubles Verna. As wounds and humiliations from her past resurface, the smooth atmosphere of the cruise will be disturbed by a shocking act.
