Brady Corbet has never made a film that felt small-scale. After The Brutalist earned 10 Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe, shot for just $10 million following years of stubborn development hurdles, word of what he's planning next is already circulating at Cannes — and it sounds characteristically unconcerned with mainstream approval.
Variety reports that Corbet's fourth feature will star Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, and Selena Gomez. The project, titled The Origin of the World, was first revealed when Blanchett mentioned the film during a masterclass at the festival before trade publications confirmed the full cast. It's a reunion for Fassbender and Blanchett after starring in the critically acclaimed spy thriller Black Bag for director Steven Soderbergh in 2025.
Corbet has described The Origin of the World as "X-rated" and "genre-defying," explicitly centered on the body, but has been equally clear that it isn't a horror film, which quashes early chatter that had positioned it somewhere close to a horror-western. The story reportedly spans 150 years, running from the 19th century into the present, though the primary narrative is anchored in the 1970s.

American mysticism and the history of the occult form the backbone of The Origin of the World, and Corbet is working with occult historian Mitch Horowitz to trace the arc of cultist belief structures across American culture. The film will also explore immigration from China to California, giving it the same broad historical ambition that defined The Brutalist.
The scale of the production already sounds enormous. Corbet is working from a 200-page script with a projected four-hour runtime, and plans to shoot over 50 days this summer in Portugal and South Africa, using ultra-rare eight-perf 65mm cameras — the same large-format approach that gave The Brutalist its distinctive visual weight before A24 acquired it. Andrew Morrison will produce under the Kaplan Morrison banner.

The casting makes sense, with Fassbender and Blanchett already sharing the screen in Black Bag last year, where they played a married couple navigating mutual suspicion within British intelligence, so there's an established chemistry for Corbet to lean into. Gomez, meanwhile, arrives off the back of her turn in Emilia Perez and a film career that has been steadily outrunning her pop-star origins. For a director who spent years casting The Brutalist mid-production before eventually landing Adrien Brody, getting all three names locked this early could be read as a sign that there's real momentum behind the project.
No distributor is attached yet, and with principal photography still ahead this summer, The Origin of the World is some way off. But Corbet's post-Brutalist leverage is considerable, and projects assembled around this kind of cast tend to attract serious attention long before a frame is shot.
