Whit Stillman currently filming first movie in 10 years
The Last Days Of Disco director Whit Stillman is filming his first movie in 10 years, A Night at Claridge’s , in Ireland.
Whit Stillman is back in the film industry, having not directed a movie since his 2016 adaptation of Jane Austen's work, Love & Friendship. The New York Times reports that Stillman is currently filming his new movie, A Night At Claridge’s, which marks his first project in over a decade. A Night At Claridge’s will be shot in Limerick, Ireland. The film will star Adam Brody, Laura Carmichael, Tom Bennett, and Susan Hampshire.
Set in autumn 1943, the story unfolds in the days leading up to D-Day, when South England is flooded with American soldiers. Miss Roach, a publisher's reader who has been evicted from her London flat, finds solace in a boarding house. There, she befriends Vicki, a lively German woman. However, Miss Roach's newfound happiness is disrupted by Mr. Thwaites, a menacing bully. The introduction of Lt. Dayton Pike, an American officer, further complicates Miss Roach's life, as Vicki develops feelings for him as well.
As tensions rise, an intense psychological battle ensues, culminating in a violent incident and a tragic death. Miss Roach grapples with guilt and uncertainty about her fiancé, who she no longer trusts. Amidst this turmoil, a mysterious man, an eccentric boss, and the glamorous Claridge’s hotel serve as catalysts for Miss Roach's redemption.
