New casting announcement from Deadline: Patti Cake$ breakout star Danielle Macdonald has come aboard the Azazel Jacobs-directed film, French Exit, which was recently picked up by Sony Pictures Classics. The Sydney-born actress joins Michelle Pfeiffer, Lucas Hedges, and Tracy Letts in the comedy-drama based on the international bestselling book by Canadian novelist Patrick deWitt, who also adapted the screenplay. Not clear which role though. Interesting, she's a pretty good actress. I've only seen her in a supporting role in the Netflix series Unbelievable. She played a rape victim and she was wonderful. She really stood out to me.

I refuse to believe he's gay, because the man does NOT know how to dress. Maybe he was there looking for stuff to wear in the film?

Costume Designer is Jane Petrie according to Instagram. Her work includes The Crown, Black Mirror, The King, Outlaw King and Suffragette. Nice addition as thought it might be Azazel's wife who usually does the costume designs on his films.

I want to read the script so bad.
They just added a few new producers to the credits on IMDB and I'm not really impressed with any of their résumés. Hopefully that won't matter or make a difference.

Finally. Can't wait to see more set pictures.
Not familiar with many of the producers on this. I'd never heard or Screen Siren Pictures or Blinder Films. Maybe they are just a named producer after investing money to the project. Don't see it making much difference if the script and direction are good and they have a great distribution company behind them.

The producer confirmed Tobias Datum is the DOP on this. He has a nice filmography, mostly in TV. The set designer has also been hired and doesn't have much experience at all. I was hoping there would be a crew with more pedigree.

Suppose everyone has to start somewhere and she's obviously more than qualified to do the job. We have a good costume designer and DP and Darrin Navarro is doing the editing. It's also not the main role of the set decoration she is doing but just the set design.

Sometimes it's smarter to hire people who are on their way up when you're working with a limited budget and a demanding schedule. Isn't there another important female role to be cast?

Not certain, but it sounds like three more female roles? The fiance and two friends of Pfeiffer's character?

She and the fiancé are parts for actresses in their 20s I believe

So in Pfeiffer's latest Instagram picture where she joked about going as Julianne Moore for Halloween, she has red-ish hair or a wig on. I wonder if she was just playing around in the hair and makeup chair on set or if that's actually her look for this film?

Major eyebrows!

Maybe Michelle has a few days off already. She posted on Instagram that her cat had visited the Henry Rose offices. Was that with Michelle or is someone looking after her cat? Gone quite quiet on Instagram on this project in the last few days.
They might be making Michelle a red head to match Lucas though.

http://instagr.am/p/B4VFQQip3A- The more I look at this it appears to be her playing around with makeup. It's a bit too PennyWise to be her character in the film, I think. Jeez, those eyebrows are scary.
