Oscar winner Jessie Buckley is set to reunite with her "Hamnet" co-star Paul Mescal in the upcoming romantic drama "Hold On To Your Angels" which will be written and directed by Oscar nominee Benh Zeitlin ("Beasts Of The Southern Wild", "Wendy"). Production is set to begin in February.
The film is set on the edge of South Louisiana and it follows a hell-bound outlaw (Mescal) and a ferocious shepherd of lost souls (Buckley) who fall in catastrophic love as their crumbling bayou paradise drags them under.
Zeitlin had this to say about the project "'Hold On To Your Angels' is the most impossible love story I've ever witnessed — an outlaw romance for the end of America, set on the crumbling edge of South Louisiana. I've been dreaming of telling it since its hero, Pam Harper, walked into an audition for Beasts of the Southern Wild seventeen years ago. It's a love letter to an endangered way of life — and a rallying cry for empathy across a fractured planet, said".
The film is produced by Plan B ("F1", "Moonlight") alongside Alex Coco ("Anora") via his Rapt Film banner in association with Fit Via Vi with Bill Way and Elliott Whitton serving as executive producers. The Veterans is handling international sales, with domestic distribution rights represented by CAA Media Finance.
Plan B said: "Benh Zeitlin absolutely stunned us and the world at large with the cosmic sorcery of 'Beasts Of The Southern Wild'. With 'Hold On To Your Angels', Benh has set his powerful mix of intense realism, myth, and magic against the large scale of an epic love story. This is a writer/director with a vision for the ages and we could not be more proud to be by his side to make this film with Jessie and Paul".
Coco added: "After years of working with filmmakers that explore the overlooked corners of our world, I can recognize Benh Zeitlin as a filmmaker with that rare gift: the ability to reveal profound beauty and humanity in parts of America that seldom find their way onto the silver screen".
