As a movie buff with a penchant for all things cinematic, I can’t help but feel the thrill coursing through my veins at the prospect of Steven Soderbergh‘s upcoming dark comedy, “The Christophers.” The cast he’s assembled is nothing short of a dream team, with the likes of Michaela Coel, Ian McKellen, and James Corden gracing our screens.
It seems like Steven Soderbergh never stops working, especially with top-notch talents. To further enhance that list, let me add the upcoming cast for his latest dark comedy: Michaela Coel, Ian McKellen, and James Cordan, all set to appear in the movie titled “The Christophers.
Set to commence filming in February, London serves as the production location for this upcoming story, as reported by Variety exclusively. The narrative revolves around the offspring of a once-renowned artist who, following his demise, recruit a counterfeiter to finish his unfinished masterpieces. This is intended to be sold after they’re discovered, giving the impression of newly found value. It appears this film could offer a humorous exploration on themes of death, artistry, and the perceived significance of works after an artist has passed away. As of now, casting details remain undisclosed, though more information should emerge as production approaches.
Who is The Cast and Creative Team Behind ‘The Christophers’?
The screenplay originates from Ed Solomon, a long-standing collaborator of Soderberg. They have previously joined forces on the 2021 crime thriller “No Sudden Move”, the Max miniseries “Full Circle”, and the HBO murder mystery “Mosaic”. Solomon is widely recognized for his contributions as a screenwriter for popular films like “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey”, “Bill & Ted Face the Music”, the 1993 “Super Mario Bros.” movie, “Men in Black”, “Charlie’s Angels”, and “Now You See Me” and its sequel.
Regarding the cast, Sir Ian McKellen is undoubtedly the most recognized, boasting a reputation as one of the most influential stage and screen actors throughout history. This esteemed British performer has graced audiences with his talents in countless productions, including many of Shakespeare’s timeless characters – from King Richard II to Hamlet and Macbeth. He has also taken on some of today’s most significant roles, such as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings series and an older version of Magneto within the X-Men universe.
James Corden is primarily recognized in America for his tenure hosting “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on CBS. However, he has significantly contributed to other popular British productions as well. Notably, he played the character Neil “Smithy” Smith in “Gavin & Stacy,” and starred in “The History Boys,” a musical-turned-film that boasted an impressive ensemble of top-tier UK stars, including Dominic Cooper, Russell Tovey, Samuel Anderson, and Sacha Dhawan.
Though Coel is primarily recognized for her thoughtful and contemplative series “I May Destroy You,” she has been consistently involved in some of the UK’s most captivating television productions. Her work ranges from appearing in two episodes of “Black Mirror” to writing and starring in her own stage play-turned-television series, “Chewing Gum.” She can also be found on the Amazon series “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and portrayed Aneka, a member of the elite, all-female royal guard known as the dora milaje, in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been keeping up with Steven Soderbergh’s recent works, and there are two intriguing titles coming up that have me quite excited! Firstly, the much-anticipated spy thriller “Black Bag,” set to grace our cinema screens on March 14. Starring the exceptional talents of Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, and Regé-Jean Page, this film promises to deliver a suspenseful ride that I can hardly wait for. Secondly, if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers like myself, mark your calendars for January 24 – that’s when “Presence” will be making its debut!
The movie directed by Steven Soderbergh, titled “The Christophers“, currently doesn’t have a scheduled release date. Production for this film is set to commence in the month of February 2025.
