Joe Alwyn Joins Rachel Weisz and Matthew Macfadyen in Tomas Alfredson’s ‘Seance on a Wet Afternoon’

Joe Alwyn has lined up his next feature film role. The “Hamnet” and “The Brutalist” actor will star alongside Rachel Weisz and Matthew Macfadyen in Tomas Alfredson’s new drama “Seance on a Wet Afternoon.”

The film, based on Mark McShane’s 1961 novel which was then made into a 1964 movie starring Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough, is penned by “Adolescence” co-creator and Emmy winner Jack Thorne. “Seance on a Wet Afternoon” follows “Myra, a self-proclaimed medium who convinces her husband Billy to kidnap the son of a wealthy family so she can lead the police to the ‘missing’ child and legitimize her psychic abilities,” its synopsis reads. “When Myra’s true intentions come to light, however, Billy realizes her plan threatens to consume them both.” Principal photography is now underway in the U.K.

An Element Pictures and Astral Projection production, “Seance on a Wet Afternoon” is produced by Robyn Slovo…
