Director Ruben Ostlund, who won the 2017 Palme d’Or and was Oscar-nominated for “The Square,” says he is assembling an A-list international cast for his follow-up film project.

The English-language dark comedy “Triangle of Sadness,” which centers on a fashion model celebrity couple, will lampoon the worlds of fashion and the super-rich.

Speaking to Variety Saturday in Cannes, Ostlund compared the cast to the all-star lineup of one of the world’s top soccer teams. “The goal with the film was to create an ensemble that is like Real Madrid,” he said. He wouldn’t reveal who has been recruited so far.

In the film the celebrity couple go on a cruise for the super-rich, but the captain is a Marxist and sets out to punish his spoiled passengers by staging a grand dinner during a violent storm, where a combination of food poisoning and seasickness has extreme effects on their digestion. [SOURCE]
