Vincent Lindon joins Keanu Reeves and Kirsten Dunst in the cast of “The Entertainment System Is Down” by Ruben Östlund (Unfiltered).
In May 2022, the Cannes jury chaired by Vincent Lindon awarded the Palme d’Or to Swedish director Ruben Östlund for his social satire Without Filter. The filmmaker thus joined the very exclusive club of directors having won 2 Palmes d’Or (the first was for The Square in 2017).
Two years later, when Vincent Lindon presented The Second Act of Quentin Dupieux at the opening of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, the British site ScreenDaily tells us that the French actor is joining the 5-star cast of Ruben Östlund’s next film.
Vincent Lindon versus Keanu Reeves!
Vincent Lindon will thus share the poster for The Entertainment System Is Down with Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, Joel Edgerton, Samantha Morton and Nicholas Braun.
Casting is still underway and producers Erik Hemmendorff and Philippe Bober have declared that other renowned actors will soon complete the cast of this new social satire.
