Todd Haynes' queer noir film, 'De Noche,' is back on track thanks to the involvement of actor Pedro Pascal. Pascal officially joins the production, stepping into the role vacated by Joaquin Phoenix about eighteen months ago. This pivotal casting decision allows the film to finally move forward with shooting, which is slated to begin next month.
'De Noche' is set to transport audiences to 1930s Los Angeles. The narrative centers on a compelling affair between a local police officer, portrayed by Pascal, and a boarding-school teacher, played by Danny Ramirez. Their romance unfolds against a backdrop of widespread corruption during that historical period.
This resurgence of 'De Noche' follows a period of significant career activity for Pascal. He has recently appeared in major projects such as 'Materialists,' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' and 'Eddington.' Additionally, his role in 'The Last of Us' has garnered widespread acclaim. His upcoming projects include 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' later this year.
