Canadian director Xavier Dolan has announced that he is writing a horror film set in 1880s France, with the film expected to begin shooting in late 2025. If the project goes ahead, it will be Dolan's first feature film since Matthias & Maxime, which premiered in competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
“It's something I wrote before the pandemic, and I'm watching it again now… It's a genre film, a horror film, set in 1880s France,” Dolan told the Canadian film podcast Sans Filtre.
