Alicia Vikander, Victoria Pedretti and Wagner Moura to Star in Rachel Rose’s Debut Film ‘The Last Day’
Alicia Vikander will lead Rachel Rose’s debut film “The Last Day” alongside Victoria Pedretti and Wagner Moura.
The film, which wrapped production in New York in October, follows a writer and mother who confronts her lack of creative purpose and embarks on a journey of rediscovering herself after encountering figures from her past.
“The Last Day” is produced by Lucie Elwes, Rose, Mason Plotts, Pamela Koffler and Christine Vachon of Killer Films — the production company behind last year’s “Past Lives” and “May December” — as well as David Kaplan of Kaplan Morrison (“The Brutalist”). Maja Hoffmann and Lucas Hoffmann of Luma Projects serve as executive producers.
CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-represent North American rights on “The Last Day.”
Vikander is an Oscar-winning actor whose credits include “The Danish Girl,” “Ex Machina” and “Tomb Raider.” This year she starred alongside Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance in the political satire “Rumours,” as well as “The Assessment” opposite Elizabeth Olsen. Next up she’ll be seen in the Korean thriller “Hope” and Oliver Assayas’ “The Wizard of the Kremlin.”
Pedretti played Nell Crain in the 2018 Netflix miniseries “The Haunting of Hill House,” and she also starred as Love Quinn opposite Penn Badgley “You.” Her film credits include “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “Shirley” and “Origin.” She’ll next be seen in Esteban Arango’s “Ponyboi.”
Moura is best known for taking on the role of Pablo Escobar in the Netflix drug drama “Narcos,” which landed him a Golden Globe nomination. He recently starred in A24’s “Civil War” opposite Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny, and he’s currently shooting the Apple TV+ crime drama “Sinking Spring,” directed by Ridley Scott.

Jude Law & Alicia Vikander ‘Firebrand’ Gets 8 Minute-Plus Standing Ovation At Cannes World Premiere
Sunday night at the 76th Cannes Film Festival was all about the world premiere of the Jude Law and Alicia Vikander Henry VIII period pic Firebrand, which received a royal response from the crowd in the Grand Theatre Lumiere with an eight and a half minute standing ovation.
Brazilian-Algerian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz directed the movie off a script by Henrietta Ashworth and Jessica Ashworth. The pic reps Aïnouz’s English language debut and it’s playing in competition.
Firebrand stars Oscar winner Vikander as Catherine Parr, the final wife of Henry VIII, a feminist force to be reckoned with who outlived the notorious king; the fate of his wives being either divorced, dead or beheaded. She is named Regent with the king warring abroad, and she’s done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. Law plays a royal on his way out, having returned from fighting with a dire condition on his right leg. Palace intrigue abounds entailing Henry squaring off with the Seymours brothers, one of them having their eye on Catherine, and the king ultimately fading.
Aïnouz’s track record at Cannes includes Invisible Life, which won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes in 2019, as well as, Mariner Of The Mountains which premiered in Cannes 2021.
