Cast

Production

In November 2022, Jennifer Lawrence confirmed she would star in an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's novel Die, My Love with Lynne Ramsay directing from a screenplay she co-wrote with playwright Enda Walsh.[2] Ramsay approached Walsh to write the first draft of the script before she wrote the second and final draft.[3] In July 2024, Robert Pattinson was in talks to join the film, produced by Martin Scorsese and Andrea Calderwood alongside the Excellent Cadaver team of Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi.[4] In August, LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte joined the cast.[5] [6]

Production began in and around Calgary, Canada, on August 19, 2024, and wrapped on October 16, 2024.[7] [8] Filming was originally set to take place in 2023 before being postponed due to the Hollywood strikes. Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey shot the film in 35mm and 1.33:1 Academy ratio, taking inspirations from Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) and Rosemary's Baby (1968).[9] [10]

Music

In April, Ramsay said she was writing music with George Vjestica, for which Lawrence may sing.[11]
