American actress and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny is one of Hollywood’s most gifted acting talents. Known for her many indie film roles, Sevigny has garnered much critical acclaim since her 1995 debut, including Academy Award- and Golden Globe-nominations for her performance in Boys Don’t Cry. Sevigny is also revered for her offbeat sense of style, and recently revealed her third clothesline for hip NY label Opening Ceremony.

It would seem Chloë has a new project lined up! According to ScreenDaily.com, Chloë Sevigny has signed on to do Werner Herzog’s My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done with Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Grace Zabriskie and Udo Kier. From ScreenDaily.com:
Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Chloë Sevigny and Udo Kier have signed on to Werner Herzog and David Lynch’s first collaboration, the psychological horror tale My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. [...] Herzog is directing the film which will commence principal photography in the California locale of Coronado Island in March. Eric Bassett is producing and Lynch serves as executive producer. Lynch regular Grace Zabriskie also stars.
The story is loosely based on events surrounding a San Diego man who acted out a Sophocles play in his mind and murdered his mother with a sword.
If true, the film would mark Chloë’s third horror thriller in three years (this excluding Zodiac, which was a suspense, not horror film). Chloë and Willem Dafoe in one movie? Count me in! Congratulations on the new project, Chloë!
Update Feb 8: Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, both very reliable movie news sources, also mention Chloë’s involvement in the film, so I think we can call this one a safe bet! In other news, Michael Pena, Brad Dourif and Bill Cobbs have also joined the film’s cast. According to Variety, principal photography is set to begin in March.
I was going to comment on Willem Dafoe, but I see you already have.
I’m glad she’s doing more films. I hope they all turn out to be great films.
Haha! Yes, Willem Dafoe is genius. Saw him first in The Boondock Saints — the man is a legend.
Yes! He’s awesome!
When I was younger I always confused him and Vincent Gallo – who is another great actor.
