EXCLUSIVE: Cameras are rolling on Stargazer, a new feature from artist-filmmaker Christian Neuman, which producers have described as a “modern psychic thriller” starring Rosalind Halstead and Poppy Delevingne.

The film’s synopsis reads: “Stargazer follows Fey Vilar, portrayed by Rosalind Halstead, a celebrated actress grappling with the abduction of her son, Paul. Using performance as a coping mechanism, Fey’s life takes an unexpected turn when she is offered a role in a play in which she must embody the character of Estelle Maar, Paul’s captor, in order to uncover the truth about her son’s disappearance. The film is said to explore themes of grief, loss, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction.

Pic is produced by Alexandra Hoesdorff and Désirée Nosbusch for the Luxembourg-based Deal Productions (Souvenir, Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake, Poison) in co-production with Bert Hamelinck, Robin Kerremans, and David Ragonig for the Belgium-based Caviar/Beluga Tree (Sound of Metal, Rebel). Also on board are Richard Kondal and Alexandra Bentley of the UK-based Big Safari (Svalta). Budget is said to be around 4.6 million euros. Visual effects are handled by the experienced team at KOALA FX. Producers expect the film to be completed in Q3, 2024.

The cast is rounded out by Koen De Bouw, who plays Doctor Andrews, and Elisabet Johannesdottir, who is Estelle Maar. The film has been supported by Film Fund Luxembourg, Wallimages and Tax Shelter Belgium, and the British Film Institute’s Tax Relief.
