Deadline reports that Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, and Matt Dillon will star in Roman Polanski’s new film, based on Yasmina Reza’s Tony award-winning play God of Carnage. Production begins next February in Paris.
God of Carnage tells the story of two sets of parents who meet after their sons are involved in a schoolyard fight. The meeting goes disastrously wrong as each pair attacks the other’s parenting skills before turning on each other about problems in their own marriages. The show ran for 452 performances on Broadway before closing in June. James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis originally starred. God of Carnage won three Tony awards, including Best Play.
