Los Angeles, Oct 25 (PTI) Hollywood star couple Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara will feature together in acclaimed Polish director Pawlikowski’s next feature film.
Tentatively titled “The Island”, the movie is loosely based on a true story and centres on an American couple who turn their backs on civilisation to build a secluded paradise on a deserted island, where they decide to live off the land, reported entertainment news website Variety.
“But Eden proves difficult to pull off, particularly after a European countess finds out about their plans and arrives with her two lovers planning to take over the island and build a luxury hotel. That triggers some good old-fashioned psychological warfare, with ‘seduction and jealousy’ turning into ‘sexual infidelity, betrayal and eventually murder’,” as per the official plotline.
