Deadline reported the details yesterday.
Based on the play of the same name by Mark St. Germain (The God Committee), Freud’s Last Session picks up with Sigmund Freud (Hopkins) on the eve of the Second World War and the end of his life, as he invites the iconic author C.S. Lewis (Goode) for a debate over the existence of God. It explores Freud’s unique relationship with his lesbian daughter Anna, as well as Lewis’ unconventional romance with his best friend’s mother.
St. Germain adapted the screenplay. Alan Greisman (The Bucket List), Rick Nicita (Hacksaw Ridge), Meg Thomson (Siren) and Hannah Leader (Gosford Park) will produce, with production set to kick off in the UK in late January 2023.
“We are so excited to have Sony Pictures Classics on board our film,” said Brown. “They have a long history of supporting independent filmmakers’ visions and offering audiences dynamic stories told from a global perspective. I am thrilled to be working with them on FREUD’S LAST SESSION from such an early stage.”
“Another fabulous role for Anthony Hopkins as Freud in London during WW2 locking horns with C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode). The talented Matt Brown has surrounded himself with the best design team and cinematographer working today,” said Sony Pictures Classics in a statement. “FREUD’S LAST SESSION promises to be a major movie. It is also great to be back in business with our friends at Westend.”
