Anonymous
Ari Aster’s A24 thriller Scapegoat has added Ella Purnell, Caleb Landry Jones and Samba Schutte to a cast that includes Scarlett Johansson and Jacob Elordi; Jude Law is in negotiations to co-star. Aster wrote and is directing the film, his fifth collaboration with A24, and will produce with Lars Knudsen through their Square Peg banner. Plot and character details remain under wraps, with unconfirmed speculation ranging from a doctor treating an internet-famous patient to a sci-fi romance or a more conventional drama. The film is set to follow Aster’s Eddington, though its production schedule has not been announced.
