The Room Next Door (Spanish: La habitación de al lado) is an upcoming Spanish drama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar in his English-language full-length debut based on the novel What Are You Going Through by Sigrid Nunez.[1] It stars Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore alongside John Turturro, Alessandro Nivola and Juan Diego Botto.

The film will premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it will be competing for the Golden Lion.[2]

Plot

[edit]

The plot deals with the rift between Martha, a very imperfect mother and war correspondent and her resentful daughter, as well as with the former's relationship with author Ingrid.[3][4]

Production

[edit]

Almodóvar talked about plans to shoot an English-language film set in New York City on the eve of his trip to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.[7] The title The Room Next Door was advertised in late 2023.[8] In January 2024, El Deseo announced that Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton had been cast in the lead roles, with John Turturro as another cast member.[4] Swinton described the film as "a natural successor, strangely, to Pain and Glory".[9] The film is an El Deseo production with the participation of Movistar Plus+.[10] Filming began on 3 March 2024 in Madrid.[3] Alessandro Nivola joined the cast that same month.[11] Shooting locations also included New York City.[12] On 12 June 2024, Juan Diego Botto, Raúl Arévalo, Melina Matthews, and Victoria Luengo were announced as additional cast members.[13] Edu Grau was the film's cinematographer.[14]

Release

[edit]

In advance of the start of production, Almodóvar's recurring North American distributor Sony Pictures Classics picked up rights to the film in North America, the Middle East, India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.[15] The film is scheduled to be released theatrically in Spain on 18 October 2024 by Warner Bros. Pictures.[5] Warner Bros. also acquired distribution rights for the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Nordics, Central and Eastern Europe (excluding Poland), Latin America and some territories in Asia-Pacific, including Japan.[16] It will be made available on Movistar Plus+ in Spain after its theatrical window.[17] In July 2024, the film was reportedly likely to premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival;[18] this was confirmed a week later, with the film announced to be premiering in competition.[2] Alberto Barbera reported that the film was premiering during the festival's second half.[19] The film will also be screened at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (for its North American premiere),[20] as a 'Donostia Award' screening at the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival,[21] and as the Centerpiece selection of the 62nd New York Film Festival at the Alice Tully Hall on 4 October 2024 (for its U.S. premiere).[1] It is scheduled to open theatrically in New York City and Los Angeles on 20 December 2024, followed by a limited release in select additional US cities on Christmas Day, and a January 2025 wide US release.[22]
