Michelle Williams joins cast of Damien Chazelle's next film

Los Angeles, Jan 14 (UNI) Michelle Williams has come on board Damien Chazelle's next cinematic venture, an untitled drama that already counts Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig among its principal cast.
Chazelle has penned the screenplay and will direct the screenplay and will direct the film, producing alongside Olivia Hamilton under their Wild Chickens Productions banner. Paramount is backing the release.
Plot details remain tightly guarded, though industry sources indicate the story is likely to be set within a prison environment. Camera are expected to roll later this year, reports DEADLINE.
Chazelle had been weighing several projects last year, including an Evel Knievel pic with Leonardo DiCaprio circling the lead role. That film ultimately allowed Chazelle to pivot to the prison pic that he was also developing.
Once Murphy and Craig were committed to star, the film was off to the races, with Chazelle beginning to court stars for other roles. Following the success of films like Whiplash and La La Land, stars are always intrigued when one of his scripts hits the market and this case was no different, with Williams signing on right before the holiday.
Williams is coming off her Golden Globe win for best female actor in a limited series or movie for her critically acclaimed performance in Dying For Sex. The performance also earned her an Emmy nomination. On the film side, she most recently portrayed Mitzi Fableman, a character inspired by Steven Spielberg’s mother in The Fabelmans (2022), a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination and her fifth Academy Award nomination.
