Per THR, Nicole Kidman is in talks to join Colin Farrell in the film, described as a psychological revenge thriller with a hint of supernatural thrown in.

Kidman will play Farrell’s wife.
Lanthimos co-wrote the script with The Lobster co-writer Efthimis Fillipou.
The project is heading towards an August start, with A24 as the domestic distributor.
