Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman has now entered negotiations to co-star as Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell’s wife in the supernatural-revenge-thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Yorgos Lanthimos will be directing from the screenplay that he co-wrote with Efthimis Fillipou (The Lobster), reports THR.
Ferrell plays the role of a successful surgeon who attempts to bring a teenager into his family, but when the teen’s actions grow increasingly sinister, the doctor must make an unthinkable sacrifice.
The Killing of a Scared Deer is set to begin filming the August. A24, behind such films as Swiss Army Man, Green Room, and The Witch, will distribute.
