EXCLUSIVE: Oscar winner Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line) have been tapped for roles in Die, My Love, Lynne Ramsay’s thriller based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz.
Details as to the duo’s roles are under wraps. The project reunites Spacek and Nolte following their work together on Affliction, the 1997 crime drama written and directed by Paul Schrader. As previously announced, Jennifer Lawerence, Robert Pattison and LaKeith Stanfield will also star.
Set in a remote forgotten rural area, the story follows a mother (Lawrence) who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. Pattison will be playing her husband, and Stanfield, her lover.
Ramsay is directing from her script written with Enda Walsh. Producers on the project include Justine Ciarrocchi and Lawerence on behalf of Excellent Cadaver, as well as Martin Scorsese and Andrea Calderwell. Black Label Media is financing.
Known for her work in such classic films as In the Bedroom, Coal Miner’s Daughter and Carrie, Spacek has been busiest on the TV side of late, starring in Prime Video’s Night Sky, the first season of Prime Video’s Homecoming, Hulu’s Castle Rock and Netflix’s Bloodline. Most recently taking on films including romantic dramedy Sam & Kate and David Lowery’s The Old Man & the Gun opposite Robert Redford, she’ll next be seen recurring on FX’s limited series Dying for Sex.
Nolte’s sprawling resume includes turns in acclaimed films like Warrior, Hotel Rwanda, The Thin Red Line, The Player, Cape Fear, Under Fire and 48 Hrs., among many others. In television, he’s most recently starred in Epix’s comedy Graves, also taking on roles on shows like Poker Face and The Mandalorian. Upcoming projects include the indie drama Rittenhouse Square and Ed Harris’s The Ploughmen.
Spacek is represented by UTA, Mgmt Entertainment, and Rowan & Maron. Nolte is repped by CAA, Tavistock Wood Management, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
