It feels like only yesterday we were watching Josh O’Connor traipse around the Italian countryside in the world’s dirtiest linen suit, digging up treasures and wooing our hearts in Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera, the arthouse movie that launched one thousand crushes. Since then, O’Connor has played a tennis star, an art thief, and a priest (this sounds like a joke setup …) before he finally found his way back into a creative partnership with Rohrwacher on her forthcoming film Three Incestuous Sisters, based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger (of The Time Traveler’s Wife fame among other books). Presumably O’Connor won’t be playing any of the incestuous sisters — he’s gonna be, what, their dad? Just kidding, he’s the love interest — but he will join other big gets like Saoirse Ronan, Dakota Johnson, and presumptive Best Actress winner Jessie Buckley.
Wait, does this mean Dakota Johnson is doing an accent? Can Dakota Johnson do accents? We’ll find out soon enough. Rohrwacher is reportedly writing the script alongside Ottessa Moshfegh, so it’s safe to assume the vibe of this movie, based on its co-screenwriter and title, will be very, very normal and not remotely sexually weird in any way.
