You may recall that we posted earlier this year that Die, My Love does not have a distributor. Deadline reported today that Patrick Wachsberger’s joint venture with Legendary Entertainment – 193 is now on board as an international sales agent with Rick York of LBI Entertainment handling US sales – “It now has one of the Cannes Film Festival’s most high-profile movies to tempt buyers”.
I hope Australia’s Madman Entertainment takes their cheque book to Cannes – this film seems right up their alley.

It’s official, Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” joins the competition line-up for Cannes according to Screen Daily. Happy birthday to Rob as the competition commences 13 May 2025 until 24 May 2024.
“Cannes 2025 Official Selection additional titles
Competition
Die My Love, dir. Lynne Ramsay
Woman And Child, dir. Saeed Roustaee
It has also been added to the official Cannes website
18 April 2025
According to World of Reel “Die, My Love is headed to Cannes:
“Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” just screened for Cannes, and word on the Croisette is—they loved it. Two separate sources tell me the film, starring none other than Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence, is now officially locked for competition. Buckle up.”
I’m buckled and raring to go! C’mon Thierry confirm it already. I believe next round of films to be announced will be around 21 April 2025.
11 April 2025
Cannes announced their lineup last night and as expected, Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” was not in the initial lineup. Cannes director Thierry Frémaux did confirm, however, that the announced lineup wasn’t the complete lineup. We still have our fingers crossed that the film will make it’s debut and be added at a later date, however, IndieWire is reporting:
“Not showing up among the six female directors in competition this year, so far, was Lynne Ramsay with “Die, My Love,” a supposed horror-comedy that would bring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson to the glittery Palais red carpet (and counts Martin Scorsese among the producers). All of Ramsay’s films have premiered at Cannes, including her last feature, 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here,” which won the Screenplay prize. The strike-delayed shoot on “Die, My Love” wrapped in Canada in fall 2024, so you’d think this in theory should’ve been ready for Cannes by now. But we hear it’s still in the edit.”
8 April 2025
According to Deadline:
“We hear that Lynne Ramsay’s new film Die, My Love, which has Martin Scorsese among its producers, may not be ready in time to be announced at Thursday’s presser but could potentially be added at a later date.”
Fingers crossed we hear something about this film soon (and maybe another still featuring Rob would be great) – just saying.
4 April 2025
As we count down to the days when the Cannes line-up will be announced (10 April 2025), CineEuropa has entered the debate with the following:
The best-kept secrets are those that leak as late as possible. Because of a wish to keep the media in the dark or because of the absolute trust it has in its ability to adapt at the last minute, given the reassuring glut of talents on offer, the official selection of the 78th Cannes Film Festival (13-24 May) has this year held on to the reins of its invitations like seldom before, a move which is having a domino effect on general expectations and the parallel sections’ decisions.
Nevertheless, things are hotting up exactly one week ahead of the official selection press conference in Paris, during which Thierry Frémaux (accompanied by president Iris Knobloch) will unveil some of the cards up his sleeve, with a healthy armful of additions being expected at a later date. Having said that, the viewings by the Cannes selection committees still continue apace (the surprise move to bring the press conference forwards by a week having disrupted certain presentation plans by the producers of films still in post-production), and the Venice Film Festival is also keeping a close eye on the revelations in order to make potential counteroffers. Therefore, overall, things are basically as clear as mud for the cinephile forecasters, who are making amendments to their lists left, right and centre while also hoping to make out some glimmers of certainty here and there. Still, let’s gaze into the crystal ball for the 2025 edition of Cannes, which on paper appears to be of a very lofty level, given the plethora of high-calibre contenders waiting in line.
In competition, standing out among the probable titles … are Father, Mother, Sister, Brother by US helmer Jim Jarmusch, The Secret Agent by Brazil’s Kleber Mendonça Filho, Sentimental Value by Norway’s Joachim Trier, The Young Mothers’ Home by Belgium’s Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Die, My Love by Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay … [my emphasis]
Thanks to JLawSource for the heads up.
11 March 2025
We have posted previously in this post that “Die, My Love” may be part of the Cannes line-up. THR are also speculating that this may be so given that we are two months away from the festival. Reminder that the lineup will be announced mid-April:
“Lynne Ramsay does not make many movies, but when she does finish one, it goes to Cannes. Her 1999 feature debut, Ratcatcher, was in Un Certain Regard; her 2002 follow-up Morvern Callar premiered in Directors’ Fortnight; and We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and You Were Never Really Here (2017) were both in competition. Ramsay’s Cannes connection actually extends further, with shorts Small Deaths (1996) and Gasman (1998) both bowing on the Croisette. Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence and LaKeith Stanfield star in her latest, a psychological thriller adapted from a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz about a woman in rural France driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood.”
4 March 2025
During Robert Pattinson & Bong Joon-Ho Talk Mickey 17, Future Roles & Guilty Pleasures for GQ, Rob disclosed the following about his dance scene in Die, My Love:
“I did this movie with Lynne Ramsay, and she’s a really good dancer. And Jennifer Lawrence is a really good dancer. They just find it so easy. They’re like, ‘Just dance, it’s just music playing, just dance,’” Pattinson said. “I was like, ‘I’m going to have a mental breakdown when this happens. We need to either choreograph it or cut it.’ And they’re like, ‘No, just dance, stop being all freak.’ It came to the day, and I was sweating so much, the insides of my trousers, with sweat, were wet.”
Thanks IndieWire

Still waiting on any information regarding this film, so for now I’ll tease you with what may be the potential logo for the film.
The potential “logo” for ‘Die, my love’ starring Jennifer Lawrence & Robert Pattinson appears yet again.👀

Apparently, select crew members received customized notebooks and water bottles featuring the logo.
It also appeared on the ‘Thank you’ cards for the crew. pic.twitter.com/z3a6nBxeyz
18 February 2025
We previously mentioned that it was possible for Die, My Love to premiere at Cannes (or at least have a special midnight screening). However, Deadline is now reporting:
“With one of Europe’s three flagship film festivals approaching half way stage, minds are already beginning to focus on the shape of the next two: Cannes and Venice. The former will be upon us before we know it.
…
Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love could be Cannes, Venice or another fall festival.”
Again, it’s speculation. The film is yet to snag a distributor. Stay tuned for more updates.
27 January 2025
According to Jennifer Lawrence Source, “Die, My Love” looks like it will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. It was mentioned twice in interviews by Marcus Della Rosa (who plays the lifeguard in the film). Cannes will run between 13 – 24 May 2025 and official selections will be announced mid-April 2025. As I mentioned to JLS, if it’s not in competition it could premiere as a Midnight Screening, especially if it is looking for distributors. Stay tuned!

IndieWire released an article of books to read before their film adaption comes to the screen. In it both Mickey17 and Die My Love were mentioned (I’m about to start reading coincidentally). The interesting comment on Die My Love was this [my emphasis]:
Ramsay has been known to take a loose approach to her source material, freely adapting Lionel Schriver’s “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and Jonathan Ames’ “You Were Never Really Here.” She wrote the script for “Die, My Love” with Edna Walsh and again works with DP Seamus McGarvey, who created a nightmarish swirl of hallucinatory images for “Kevin.” The movie doesn’t have a U.S. distributor yet, but I’d bet on at least a Cannes premiere (where Ramsay generally goes) and a distributor snapping this up quick.“
How great would that be seeing Rob portray Jackson at a Cannes premiere . Fingers crossed.
20 October 2024
IMDb is showing this film as in production and shares that the film finished filming on 16 October 2024.
Betty Tong Casting also confirmed today on IG that the film has wrapped:
1 September 2024
Apologies for the slow update on this project. Rob is currently in production according to KFTV in Calgary:
“Production will take place in and around Calgary, Canada from Monday 19 August until Tuesday October 8.”
According to Deadline:
Oscar winner Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line) have been tapped for roles in Die, My Love, Lynne Ramsay’s thriller based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz.
Details as to the duo’s roles are under wraps. The project reunites Spacek and Nolte following their work together on Affliction, the 1997 crime drama written and directed by Paul Schrader. As previously announced, Jennifer Lawerence, Robert Pattinson and LaKeith Stanfield will also star.
10 August 2024
Did not think excitment for this project could get more ramped up but …
“Die, my love will be filming in Canada this month” one of the writer posted it 14 hours ago 👀 pic.twitter.com/1oi92DUXpy

Thanks Chrissy for heads up
27 July 2024
Deadline is reporting that Rob is in talks to join Jennifer Lawrance in Lynne Ramsay’s new film
“In what would mark the first time the two A-listers have shared a screen together, sources tell Deadline that Robert Pattinson is in negotiations to star opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the thriller Die, My Love, which Lynne Ramsay is directing. Ramsay also co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh.
Set in a remote forgotten rural area, the story follows a mother who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. It is unknown who Pattinson would play.”
According to World of Reel the film is set to start production in Canada this week:
“Die, My Love,” an adaptation of a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz, is being described as a stark tale set in rural France of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood. Martin Scorsese is set to produce the film.
Ramsay co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh. Meanwhile, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawerence Marty Scorsese and Andrea Calderwell are producing with Black Label Media financing.”
And according to JLawsUpdates on Twitter, Production Weekly has confirmed Rob as a cast member
