Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are teaming up for a captivating new project that promises to showcase their acting prowess in a fresh and intriguing way. The duo will star in Lynne Ramsay’s upcoming film, Die, My Love , marking their first on-screen collaboration. Ramsay, the Scottish director renowned for her thought-provoking and visually striking films such as We Need to Talk About Kevin , is set to adapt this story from Argentine author Ariana Harwicz’s acclaimed 2019 novel of the same name.
So, what is Die, My Love all about? The film is described as a psychological thriller set in a remote and desolate rural area. It centers on a mother grappling with mental instability as she navigates the intense pressures of her domestic life. The novel, which was a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize in 2018, delves deep into themes of psychosis and the suffocating nature of traditional roles in a marriage. Ramsay, known for her distinctive and often challenging storytelling style, has hinted that the film will explore mental health and marital breakdown, albeit with a darkly comedic twist. As Ramsay herself put it, the film will be “really fucking funny,” reflecting her Glaswegian sense of humor.
Jennifer Lawrence, who has recently returned to the big screen with a variety of roles from the climate change drama Don’t Look Up to the raunchy rom-com No Hard Feelings , will bring her Oscar-winning talent to this intense role. Robert Pattinson, whose recent credits include his portrayal of the Batman in Matt Reeves’s The Batman and his current work with Bong Joon Ho on the sci-fi thriller Mickey 17 , is set to complement Lawrence’s performance with his own strong presence.
Adding to the excitement, LaKeith Stanfield, known for his stellar performances in Atlanta and Judas and the Black Messiah , is reportedly in discussions to join the cast. Although his role in Die, My Love is not yet confirmed, his inclusion would certainly enhance the film’s already impressive lineup.
The film is being produced by Justine Ciarrocchi, Martin Scorsese, and Andrea Calderwood, under the banner of Black Label Media. Given Scorsese’s involvement and Ramsay’s track record, there’s high anticipation for how this film will turn out. There is no official release date yet, but Die, My Love is rumored to premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where Ramsay has previously made significant impacts with her work.
As we await more details on this project, the combination of Lawrence, Pattinson, and Ramsay promises a film that will be both emotionally intense and richly layered. Stay tuned for more updates on Die, My Love as it progresses through production.
