Summary
- Harrelson stars with Kristen Stewart in Quentin Dupieux's new film.
- The film follows a father and daughter's strained trip to Paris.
- Harrelson expresses interest in working more with European directors.
Woody Harrelson is set to star in Quentin Dupieux's new film, "Full Phil," described by the director as "Emily in Paris in hell." Harrelson stars opposite Kristen Stewart in the movie, which was filmed rapidly over approximately two months. The plot involves a father and daughter whose relationship is combative, and their trip to Paris to mend it.
Harrelson's involvement began after meeting Dupieux, a director whose work he greatly admires. Initially, Dupieux was trying to cast Jim Carrey, but Harrelson's producer, Ilya Bronchtein, had already secured Harrelson for the role.
The actor expressed a strong interest in continuing to work in European cinema, especially French films, praising their quality. He recently attended the Cannes Film Festival with Ruben Östlund's "Triangle of Sadness."
