”Twin Peaks The Return” and “The Dropout” thesp Amanda Seyfried is reteaming with Chloe (2019) director Atom Egoyan on Seven Veils.
Filming is set to begin next week in Toronto, Canada on the pic, the story of an earnest theatre director who has been given the daunting task of remounting her former mentor’s most famous work, the opera Salome. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Seyfried’s character Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as she re-enters the opera world after so many years away.
Seyfried is, of course, hot off Hulu’s ”The Dropout” for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, and was recently nominated for a SAG Award, as well as a PGA Award alongside her fellow producers on the series.
“I first produced Salome for the Canadian Opera Company almost thirty years ago and have been haunted by its themes,” says Egoyan. “This is a project I’ve been dreaming about for years and it’s such a thrill to be reunited with Amanda after the amazing experience we had together making Chloe.”
