Two years ago, "Vox Lux" director Brady Corbet reached the pinnacle of his career when his 215-minute film "The Brutalist" swept three major Academy Awards: Best Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. Corbet is clearly addicted to crafting expansive, three-hour-plus narratives, as his next feature will maintain a similar epic scale for a period drama.

Renowned entertainment journalist Jeff Sneider recently revealed on his blog, The InSneider, that Selena Gomez, who won Best Actress at Cannes for "Emilia Pérez," will star in Corbet's new film, "The Origin of the World." He also noted that the film is expected to run four hours and will be X-rated.
Reportedly, Corbet has been in pre-production for weeks and plans a 50-day shoot across Portugal and South Africa. The script currently spans around 200 pages but may be streamlined further. Corbet intends to shoot the entire film on 65mm stock and release it in 70mm format.
Sneider also mentioned that this experimental film will be a Western spanning 150 years, from the 19th century to the present day, though primarily focusing on the 1970s. In a recent interview, Corbet teased that the plot will delve into the history of American mysticism and occultism.
