Tessa Thompson to Star in A Separation from Director Jonas Carpignano Tessa Thompson, the 42-year-old actress, has joined forces with director Jonas Carpignano for a new psychological thriller titled A Separation. The film is an adaptation of Katie Kitamura’s 2017 bestselling novel, which delves into themes of intimacy, grief, and hidden marital secrets. Thompson will both star in and produce the project, marking a significant step in her career as a producer and performer. The collaboration brings together two of Hollywood’s most daring artists, with Carpignano’s acclaimed directorial work and Thompson’s rising prominence in the industry. The film follows a woman who reluctantly travels from London to a remote region of southern Greece in search of her estranged husband, who has vanished without a trace. The narrative explores the complexities of personal relationships, the weight of unresolved emotions, and the mysteries that linger in the aftermath of a fractured marriage. The project is set to be developed with a production team that includes Linden Productions, Viva Maude, Faliro House, and Anonymous Content, with David Levine serving as an executive producer. Carpignano, known for his critically acclaimed films Mediterranea and A Ciambra, brings a distinctive vision to the adaptation. His work has earned recognition at major film festivals, including Cannes, where Mediterranea premiered in 2015. The director’s previous projects often focus on the lives of marginalized communities and the emotional landscapes of individuals navigating societal pressures. This collaboration with Thompson, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Hedda, signals a partnership that promises to elevate the storytelling to new heights.#tessa_thompson #jonas_carpignano #a_separation #linden_productions #viva_maude
