Happy to read that “Switzerland” is still in pre-production. According to Deadline, Juliet Stevenson has boarded Anton Corbijn’s thriller Switzerland starring Helen Mirren as crime novelist Patricia Highsmith as shooting gets underway in Rome, sources close to the production have confirmed. She joins Mirren, Olivia Cooke, who was also confirmed this week, as well as previously attached Alden Ehrenreich. The movie has been adapted by Australian writer Joanna Murray-Smith from her play of the same name, revolving around Patricia Highsmith’s encounter with an ambitious young literary agent, played by Ehrenreich. It is 1995, as Highsmith lives out her final days in seclusion in the Swiss Alps with only her cats for company. When a pushy young man turns up at her residence, sent by her New York publisher to persuade her to write a final book in her best-selling Tom Ripley series, it becomes clear he is on a more sinister mission. After Rome, the production travels to northern Italy, Switzerland and London. Producers are Gabrielle Tana Troy Lum and Andrew Mason at Brouhaha Entertainment; Jim Robison and Kurt Martin for Australia’s Lunar Pictures; Karl Spoerri at Switzerland’s Zurich Avenue; Andrea Occhipinti for Italy’s Lucky Red; and Pete Shilaimon and Mickey Liddell for L.A.-based LD Entertainment. Carolyn Marks Blackwood is also producing.
