EXCLUSIVE: Faye Dunaway (Bonnie & Clyde), Harvey Keitel (Bugsy) and Andrew McCarthy (The Blacklist) have signed on to star in Fate, a suspenseful, supernatural romance that will launch international sales via Highland Film Group at Cannes.
Set to enter production in Vancouver this month, the film’s plot is under wraps, though its key location, the fictional Vista hotel, is said to draw inspiration from the iconic Los Angeles movie theater of the same name, which filmmaker Quentin Tarantino refurbished in 2022. Jonathan Baker is directing and producing the project, which has been in development for five years, and tells Deadline, “there is an excellent chance it will stand as one of the most memorable love stories of our time.”
Known for iconic turns in films like Bonnie & Clyde and Chinatown, Dunaway comes to Fate after collaborating with Baker on his debut feature Inconceivable, a 2017 thriller also starring Gina Gershon, Nicky Whelan and Nicolas Cage. Soon, she’ll be heading to the Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere of Faye, an HBO documentary in which she candidly discusses the triumphs and challenges of her career.
Seen in cinema classics like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Bugsy, Keitel can currently be seen starring in the series The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which premiered on Peacock earlier this month.
Best known for roles in films like Pretty in Pink and Weekend at Bernie’s, McCarthy has more recently been seen on and directed episodes of series like The Blacklist and Good Girls. Additionally, he wrote, directed, produced and appears in the upcoming Brats, a Brat Pack documentary bound for Hulu.
Dunaway is repped by Entertainment Law Partners; Keitel by Twelve Entertainment in Italy and Untitled Entertainment; and McCarthy by CAA, Liebman Entertainment, and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum.
