Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan, and Jessie Buckley will be playing three incestuous sisters in a new movie.
Alice Rohrwacher is directing a film adaptation of a novel written by Audrey Niffenegger titled Three Incestuous Sisters. Rohrwacher directed 2023’s La Chimera starring Josh O’Connor, while her filmography also includes 2011’s Heavenly Body, 2014’s The Wonders, and 2018’s Happy as Lazzaro.
What else do we know about Three Incestuous Sisters with Dakota Johnson?
Per Deadline, in addition to Johnson, Ronan, and Buckley, Three Incestuous Sisters will also star O’Connor.
Plot and character details are being kept under wraps at this time; although, Deadline’s article notes that the movie’s script, written by Rohrwacher and Ottessa Moshfegh, is only “loosely” based on the 2005 book.
A description of the novel reads, “These rich pages present the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. Escalating to a dizzying climax, the romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair.”
Rohrwacher is producing the new movie alongside Johnson and Ro Donnelly for TeaTime Pictures and Steven Rales for Indian Paintbrush. Production is expected to begin in April.
Johnson recently starred opposite Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in 2025’s Materialists, while Buckley has been nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in last year’s Hamnet. Buckley will also soon be seen in The Bride!, which arrives in United States theaters next week. Ronan, meanwhile, starred in a British comedy movie last year titled Bad Apples. She has been cast as Linda McCartney in Sam Mendes’ four Beatles movies.
A release date for Three Incestuous Sisters has not yet been announced.
