Michelle Williams Joins Daniel Craig, Cillian Murphy in Damien Chazelle's Next Movie
Damien Chazelle is set to direct and produce his next film, a prison-set untitled movie, which will star Michelle Williams alongside Daniel Craig and Cillian Murphy. The project, written by Chazelle himself, marks the director's highly anticipated comeback after the underwhelming box office performance of "Babylon," released in 2022.
Williams, who recently won a Golden Globe for her starring role in FX's "Dying for Sex" and has appeared in numerous Oscar-nominated films such as "Blue Valentine," "The Fabelmans," and "Manchester by the Sea," is expected to bring her impressive talent to the table. Her current stage production of Eugene O'Neill's "Anna Christie" will likely be put on hold, given her new commitment to Chazelle's project.
Chazelle has been working on various projects, including a potential biopic about Evel Knievel, although it appears to have fallen by the wayside in favor of this new endeavor. Murphy, fresh from his Oscar win for "Oppenheimer," and Craig, who recently appeared in "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" and "Queer," are set to star alongside Williams.
Paramount Pictures has taken on distribution duties for Chazelle's film, highlighting the studio's continued commitment to supporting emerging talent. Despite the disappointing reception of "Babylon," Chazelle remains one of the most celebrated directors working today, with a notable Oscar win for "La La Land" and successful outings like "Whiplash" and "First Man."

chazelle's comeback is gonna be EPIC and im all for him taking risks again 
cant wait to see more about evel knivel tho 
what do u guys think? 
. And Cillian Murphy is just amazing, he's been killing it lately 
. I'm curious about Damien Chazelle's direction, I mean, after "Babylon" was underwhelming... but let's not forget his Oscar win for "La La Land" 
. Maybe this new project will be the comeback he needs? 
still gotta give credit tho, chazelle's still a talented director after "babylon" and all... cant wait to see how this one turns out! 
, she's just so talented! And can we talk about how amazing it is that Paramount Pictures is supporting emerging talent again? 
The movie is set in prison and with these three actors on board, I'm expecting something truly special. Bring it on 2025!!! 
. The fact that Chazelle is taking a risk on this new project after the mixed reviews of his last movie is pretty bold, but I trust him - he's still one of my fave directors 
. Plus, it's always great to see new talent coming through from Paramount Pictures 
. but I'm not sure what to make of this prison-set movie... Daniel Craig and Cillian Murphy are great actors, they'll def bring the heat 
. and on a separate note, who's up for a Evel Knievel biopic? 
guess it'll have to wait till next time 
. Paramount Pictures always knows how to support the arts 
!
. It's just another way to greenlight mediocre movies and force talented directors to compromise their artistic vision 
. And can we talk about how they're already pushing Michelle Williams' stage production of "Anna Christie" aside? Priorities, guys! 
Anyway, I'm curious to see how Damien Chazelle's comeback film turns out - fingers crossed it doesn't feel like a desperate attempt to revive his reputation 
.
.
. He still has a lot of talent and passion behind him, and I've always loved his energy in films like "La La Land" and "Whiplash". It'll be interesting to see how he weaves this new story together - fingers crossed it'll be a hit!
