Following last month's news that Cannes Best Actress winner Selena Gomez would lead "The Brutalist" director Brady Corbet's next film, "The Origin of the World," it now appears a male lead has been found. Yesterday, Variety reported that Michael Fassbender is also in negotiations to star. The roles for both actors have not yet been disclosed.
Additionally, Cate Blanchett revealed earlier at this year's Cannes Film Festival during a masterclass session that she has also joined the cast.

"The Origin of the World" is reportedly set to be a four-hour, X-rated epic, with a 50-day shoot planned in Portugal and South Africa. The script is currently around 200 pages long but may be trimmed down. Corbet plans to shoot the entire feature on 65mm film for a 70mm theatrical release. This experimental film is described as a Western spanning 150 years (from the 19th century to the present day), with its main focus on the 1970s. In a previous interview, Corbet also teased that the plot will delve into the history of American mysticism and occultism.
