Riley Keough has been on the kind of streak few young actresses get to experience. Steven Soderbergh knew talent when he saw it, casting the actress in “Magic Mike,” “The Girlfriend Experience,” and his upcoming “Logan Lucky.” Overall, Keough has seen a flurry of doors open, landing roles in George Miller‘s “Mad Max: Fury Road,” with a forthcoming slate of movies that includes: “The Discovery” with Rooney Mara and Jason Segel; Trey Edward Shults‘ “It Comes At Night“; and David Robert Mitchell‘s “Under The Silver Lake.” And now she’s adding another auteur to her CV.
Keough and “The Killing” star Sofie Grabol have joined Lars von Trier‘s “The House That Jack Built.” Led by Matt Dillon and Bruno Ganz, the latest from the Danish provocateur is set in Washington during the ’70s and ’80s, and tells the story of Jack, a serial killer, who tries to finish his “masterpiece” as he eludes capture. Keough and Grabol will play women that Jack encounters, with two more prominent female roles yet to be cast.
Production on ‘Jack’ kicks off in March and will continue through May, with the film planned for release in 2018. [THR]
