translated from Spanish: The new project of Damián Szifrón is a thriller with Shailene Woodley

At the beginning of last year we learned that the Argentine director Damián Szifron was separated from the film adaptation of “The Six Billion Dollar Man” (that we knew as “Nuclear man”) because of creative differences and supposedly idiomatic. “Fortunately the filmmaker did not stay still and already has a new project in the north country:”Misanthrope”, a thriller starring Shailene Woodley, the protagonist of the series”Divergente”.” Misanthrope”follows the story of a talented but troubled COP who is recruited by the FBI to assist the Bureau in the search for a serial killer. The script was written by the same Szifron alongside Jonathan Wakeham and is based on an original story by the Argentine. Filming will begin this year in Atlanta and the production is still in the process of casting.” “As ‘Misanthrope’ scripts, executed to perfection in its tone and subject matter, are hard to find – and more with a director as Damian in charge,” said Woodley. “I trust fully that we create something that will have a profound impact on the film and will resonate with the audience, in particular considering the times in which we are living.” It could not be more excited to be part of this project.”

Saw the actress last year on big screen in “Adrift” a drama in which plays a young woman who along with her partner remaining adrift after the boat they were traveling is hit by a hurricane. Woodley also participated in the multi-award winning “Big Little Lies” HBO series, which premieres its second season in June of this year. Szifron, for his part, held to be able to work with the actress and producer FilmNation, promising that “Misanthrope” will offer the kind of cinematic experience that has become filmmaker and who can’t wait to share it with “audiences of all the” World”. The production company FilmNation, featuring films such as “Arrival” and “The Big Sick” to his credit, is responsible for the financing and international distribution.” From that project comes to us, we knew it was something special and unique that we had to do,”said company CEO Glen Basner. “Damian has a singular talent and we do not doubt that is going to make a film that defined the Decade.” It seems that there are many banking behind “Misanthrope”, which will be presented and offered during the next Cannes Festival, which will take place from 14th to 25th of this month.
