Adrien Brody & Rachel Zegler to Star in Musical Drama LAST DANCE

Two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody ("The Brutalist") and Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler ("West Side Story") have joined the cast of Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz's ("Firebrand") musical drama "Last Dance", which he will direct from a script by Emily Ziff Griffin based on her 2021 autobiographical New Yorker article "The Last Dance with My Dad". Tony, Emmy, and Grammy winner Ben Platt ("Dear Evan Hansen") is also set to star and write original music for the film.

The film follows celebrated Broadway composer Elliot (Brody) who invites his daughter Emma (Zegler) on a gay cruise through the Caribbean in 1991 — a dazzling, liberating world of music, celebration and chosen family where Emma, the only straight woman on board, experiences an unexpected first love with a young crew member. But beneath the joy and abandon, the AIDS crisis casts an ever-deepening shadow. As Elliot retreats from the devastating reality of his illness, father and daughter are forced to confront the unspoken truths between them. In the fleeting time they have left together, can they rediscover each other before the music finally fades?

Griffin also executive produces. Fifth Season and President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Lynette Howell Taylor ("A Star Is Born") is producing via 51 Entertainment. FilmNation Entertainment will launch international sales at the upcoming Cannes market. Fifth Season and CAA Media Finance Group are handling domestic rights.

Aïnouz said in a statement: "I am thrilled to bring to the screen such a unique and moving portrait of a time where hope and celebration allowed our queer community to overcome one of the worst crises of last century. When many were dying of AIDS, there was a sense of solidarity and fury that made us stronger. Last Dance is a universal and urgent tale where joy is taken up as resilience, where the dance floor becomes a pièce de résistance. It is an honor to collaborate with such exquisite talent in order to bring this movie to life in a time where, more than ever, we need fables of hope."

FilmNation Entertainment CEO Glen Basner added: "Emily Ziff Griffin's unfiltered remembrance of her father and her unconventional upbringing is powerful in both its' crystal-clear specificity, and in its relatability to all children — in all types of families — who look back on seminal, life moments. Last Dance vividly recreates New York in the nineties; the outsized joy and sorrow of that period and also presents a universal and deeply moving father daughter story".
