Canadian director Xavier Dolan has announced his return to feature filmmaking with a new project, a period horror movie set in 1880s France. Dolan, who hasn\u2019t directed a feature since Matthias & Maxime<\/i> in 2019, shared details about his upcoming film on the Canadian cinema podcast Sans Filtre.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I wrote before the pandemic, and I\u2019m looking at again\u2026 It\u2019s a genre film, a horror film, set in 1880s in France,\u201d Dolan revealed. The director\u2019s hiatus from feature films has been marked by other creative pursuits, including the short film Happy Diamonds<\/i>, the music video Adele: Easy On Me<\/i>, and the TV miniseries The Night Logan Woke Up<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Dolan\u2019s motivation for the horror genre seems to be intertwined with his personal experiences and artistic challenges. \u201cUnconsciously, I\u2019ve returned to the same themes, in a period that I don\u2019t know, but which appeals to me and in a style which appeals to me, but with a completely different proposition,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel that I can surpass myself, learn and grow with themes that are dear to me but in the horror genre.\u201d<\/p>\n

The director also spoke about the financial and logistical aspects of the project, emphasizing its high cost due to the need for period-accurate costumes and lighting. Dolan plans to shoot on location in and around Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, as well as in a studio setting.<\/p>\n

In addition to his film work, Dolan is preparing for the publication of a book titled A Friendship Through Film<\/i>, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of his acclaimed film Mommy<\/i>. The book, a collaboration between his company Sons of Manual and French film company mk2, will feature unseen images from the Mommy<\/i> shoot, captured by photographer Shayne Laverdi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
