Sam Worthington, Cara Delevingne to get sexy for Paul Schrader in Non Compos Mentis

Director Paul Schrader is currently working on his upcoming erotic thriller, Non Compos Mentis. Initially, the film was set to feature Liam Hemsworth, Caleb Landry Jones, and Sarah Pidgeon as the central characters in a volatile love triangle. However, Schrader has now replaced Hemsworth with Sam Worthington and replaced Pidgeon with Cara Delevingne as the focal point of the triangle.

Schrader plans to begin filming in New York in October and is still in the process of completing the rest of the cast, which previously included Dianne Wiest. The recasting of Caleb Landry Jones is not explained in the report, although Playlist mentions that Pidgeon has dropped out of the project. The film's title, Non Compos Mentis, translates to "not of sound mind."

The story follows two brothers, a New York defense attorney and a hard-edged corporate heir, who confront their mother's decline into dementia. The plot thickens when the attorney becomes involved in a consuming affair with a younger woman, which ignites a volatile love triangle filled with obsession, betrayal, and a ruthless battle for control of the family fortune.

It is unclear which brother Sam Worthington and Liam Hemsworth will portray, but fans will be eager to see how the dynamic unfolds in this thrilling erotic tale.
