Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal are set to star in Pedro Almodóvar's next film, a Western titled 'Strange Way of Life'.
Academy Award-winning writer and director Pedro Almodóvar’s upcoming Western short film titled Strange Way of Life has set its stars in Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke. Almodóvar, the most well-known Spanish filmmaker of current times, is set to begin filming the Western sometime in late August.
The director’s English language filmmaking repertoire began in 2020 with the short film The Human Voice ,which starred Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton. After shooting Strange Way of Life, Almodóvar will have his English-speaking feature debut with A Manual for Cleaning Women based on Lucia Berlin’s The New York Times bestseller. The movie is planned for next year and will star Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In Strange Way of Life, Hawke and Pascal will portray a duo of middle-aged gunslingers, Jake and Silva. According to Variety, the short film begins with Silva riding across the desert to visit Sheriff Jake in Bitter Creek. A little over two decades prior, the men had worked together as hired gunslingers. Silva’s intention in going to Bitter Creek is to have a pleasant reunion with his old friend.
Strange Way of Life will be shot in the Tabernas desert region of Almería, Spain, the same region where the 1966 Spaghetti Western The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was shot. The movie will be co-produced by Almodóvar and his brother Agustín’s production company El Deseo and the luxury French fashion brand Saint Laurent, which will also be responsible for the costume design.
Starring alongside Hawke and Pascal are young Spanish actors Jason Fernández, George Steane, and Manu Ríos, and Portuguese actor José Condessa. Pedro Casablanc and Sara Salámo will also be starring in the project.
