The Hollywood Reporter is exclusively reporting that Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Debicki and Ruth Wilson have signed up to star in the film adaptation of Peter Cameron’s novel Andorra.

.

The film will follow Alexander Fox, an American who begins an idyllic new life in the tiny sovereign state of Andorra after a personal tragedy, determined to reinvent himself. But as he becomes entangled in the lives of the mysterious locals, including the retired Australian Mrs. Dent and the matriarch’s daughter Miss Quay, the mystery of Alexander’s origin deepens. When bodies emerge in the harbour, he finds himself in a spiralling crisis of conscience and identity, in a country he may not be able to escape from.

Bobby Cannavale (whose credits include The Watcher and Blonde) will be playing the role of Alexander Fox. Elizabeth Debicki (whose credits include Widows and The Crown) will be playing the role of Mrs. Dent. Ruth Wilson (whose credits include Luther and His Dark Materials) will be playing the role of Miss Quay.

.

Giuseppe Capotondi, who will be directing the project, released a statement saying:

A Kafkaesque tale of murder, love and deception, Andorra is not what it looks like. Like an ant on a Möbius strip, Alexander finds himself in a loop that’s almost impossible to escape, Fun, sexy, mysterious, extravagantly beautiful, thrilling and absolutely satisfying, Andorra is pure escapism. Literally.

Cora Palfrey, COO at Independent Entertainment, released a statement saying:

We are incredibly excited to be launching sales on Andorra, executive produced by the legendary James Ivory, at this year’s Cannes market. Featuring a superb lead cast, the masterful direction of Giuseppe, whose work we’ve admired for years, we are sure that buyers will be as gripped as we were by this riveting mystery thriller with a heart stopping twist.

.

Jamie Bialkower, who will serve as producer on the project for Jump Street Films, added:

Peter Cameron’s vivid and haunting characters demand actors of the highest calibre, and Giuseppe has assembled a dream team to bring them to life. The world of Andorra is impossibly heightened and strangely unsettling, leading us with a ruthless precision to a destination that makes you question everything that has come before. It promises to make for a visually stunning and richly psychological film for audiences to debate.

Cora Palfrey and Sarah Lebutsch will serve as executive producers for Independent Entertainment. Andorra is scheduled to commence production in Autumn 2023.
