With production underway, we slotted Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother fairly high on our list of the 100 most-anticipated films of 2024 with the hopes it’ll arrive by year’s end. As filming wrapped in New Jersey, it’s moved to Dublin where a new cast member has been unveiled thanks to set photos.

Joining Cate Blanchett, who last worked with Jim Jarmusch a decade ago playing dual roles (including herself) in the 2003 anthology Coffee & Cigarettes, is Vicky Krieps. As one can see in the set photos via Daily Mail, Blanchett’s character is sporting a bookish look while Krieps is in all-pink.

While no specific plot details have been unveiled, Jarmusch first revealed the project last year where he called it “a funny and sad film.” Check out the set photos below as we await more info.

Set in Russia in 1918, The Tsarevich tells the moving story of Prince Alexei Romanov and his battle with conscience, illness, and harsh reality during the Russian Civil War. It’s an ambitious and complicated topic for a short film to tackle, but director Geoffroy Faugérolas was apparently more than up for the challenge. In its fifteen minutes, The Tsarevich manages to both intensely capture interest and create genuine emotional investment. It’s a powerful piece of character focused filmmaking, and I’ll be watching with interest to see how it fares at upcoming film festivals.
