- Mick Jagger is set to star in Alice Rohrwacher’s adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s novel “Three Incestuous Sisters,” playing the lighthouse keeper whose son is played by Josh O’Connor.
- The film is shooting on the volcanic island of Stromboli and in Rome, with principal photography beginning in April and a ten‑week schedule planned.
- Alice Rohrwacher will make her first English‑language feature, having previously won Cannes prizes for “The Wonders” and “Happy as Lazzaro.”
- Indian Paintbrush is financing and producing the film, with co‑producers including Dakota Johnson’s TeaTime Pictures and Steven Rales.
- The Rolling Stones announced a new studio album “Foreign Tongues” for release on July 10, with the lead single “In the Stars” released May 5.
- Isabella Rossellini’s father, Roberto Rossellini, famously began his affair with Ingrid Bergman on the set of his 1949 film of the same title, and Jagger is staying in a villa on Stromboli where that affair occurred.
Why it matters: The casting of Mick Jagger, a ten‑week shoot on Stromboli and Rome, and financing by Indian Paintbrush together confirm that Alice Rohrwacher’s first English‑language feature has moved from development into active production, positioning the film for a high‑profile international release.
