As a cinephile who has experienced the raw emotional power of both Andrew Scott and Greta Lee’s performances in their recent projects, I am beyond thrilled about their upcoming collaboration in “My Notes on Mars.” Having had my heart shredded by their roles in “All of Us Strangers” and “Past Lives,” respectively, I can only imagine the emotional turmoil this new film will inflict upon me.
Over the last year, Andrew Scott and Greta Lee have left audiences emotionally drained with their performances in “All of Us Strangers” and “Past Lives.” Now, this dynamic duo is joining forces for an upcoming film that aims to cause similar emotional turmoil while incorporating elements from the science fiction genre. Titled “My Notes On Mars,” this movie marks the first English-language production by esteemed Hungarian director Lili Horvát (Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time). As reported by Deadline, the film is set to start production in Spring 2025, with shooting taking place in Budapest and Vienna.
This film is derived from an initial screenplay written by Lili Horvát and is being developed by Poste Restante. As of now, no further cast members have been disclosed, but Scott and Lee starring as the leads should be sufficient to captivate viewers. The report also encompasses a summary of the movie, positioning it as a powerful emotional drama with two talented actors at its helm. Here’s the gist of the story:
“[My Notes on Mars]: The story revolves around Margot (Lee), an exceptional scientist in distress due to marital woes, who mysteriously vanishes during a hiking trip with her husband Sam (Scott) and companions. A few weeks later, she astonishingly re-emerges on the day of her supposed memorial service. Despite evident changes in Margot following the incident, Sam views his wife’s unexpected return as a new opportunity.
Prior to the reveal, Lili Horvát hinted at elements in her upcoming English film, “My Notes on Mars.” The creative mind behind the project described it as exploring the ever-changing landscape of love within a long-term marriage, detailing its growth and transformation over time. Horvát elaborated:
Our tale delves into the intricate workings of the human mind and heart, capturing the many facets of love’s transformations. It explores the challenging journey towards rekindling a marriage, discovering anew one’s partner, and experiencing love once more – all themes that are central to our narrative.
Andrew Scott & Greta Lee Both Delivered Tear-Jerking Performances In Their Last Movies
If the plot summary of “My Notes on Mars” doesn’t already hint at an emotional rollercoaster, examine the acting credits of Andrew Scott and Greta Lee. Andrew Scott has been known to melt hearts in the global hit series “Fleabag,” a British comedy/drama penned by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge. In this show, Scott portrayed the enigmatic “Hot Priest” who fell for Waller-Bridge’s character, Fleabag, but was unable to act upon his feelings due to the potential devastation it would cause. Even when the Hot Priest predicted that these emotions would fade away in the final episode, saying “It’ll pass,” they persisted, as a spoiler alert suggests.
Previously, Scott delivered another powerful acting performance in Andrew Haigh’s film “All of Us Strangers.” This time, he shared the screen with the renowned emotional actor, Paul Mescal. If you need confirmation of his talent, look no further than Mescal’s roles in “Normal People” and “Aftersun.”
Regarding Greta Lee, she’s not only garnered an Emmy nomination this year for her supporting role on The Morning Show, but also touched hearts deeply with her lead role in Celine Song’s 2023 film, Past Lives. This movie offers a unique twist on the classic tale of childhood sweethearts. Lee portrays Nora, who as a child moved from South Korea to America, leaving behind her best friend Hae Sung (Teo Yoo). After 20 years, they meet again when Hae Sung visits America, only to find that Nora is already married to Arthur (John Magaro). The movie left many viewers in tears and was recognized at the 2024 Oscars with two nominations, including Best Picture.
