Joe Talbot’s sophomore feature The Governesses is now in development at A24 with an impressive cast lineup of Lily-Rose Depp (The Idol) alongside recent breakout stars Hoyeon Jung (Squid Game) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, to shoot in Spain, centers on three rebellious governesses who upend the household they work in and the minds of the boys in their care. The result also has the trio igniting the imaginations of the bohemian couple who employ them and abandoning their charges for erotic adventures.
Joe Talbot will helm the drama from a screenplay he wrote along with Olivia Gatwood based on Anne Serre’s novel of the same name. The upcoming feature film marks Talbot’s second film with A24 after his feature debut, The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures will produce with Rob Richert of Talbot’s Longshot Features and Angus Lamont. The project was developed with the support of BBC Film, which will co-finance alongside A24. A24 will handle the movie’s global release.
