Keira Knightley and Alicia Vikander Lead The Worst

Keira Knightley, Alicia Vikander, Jamie Dornan and Erin Kellyman are set to star in The Worst, a new British dark comedy from Eclipse Films.

Written and directed by Simon Woods in his feature directorial debut, the film brings together an ensemble cast for a story of wealth, privilege and relationships pushed to breaking point.

Set at a luxurious château in France, The Worst follows a gathering of wealthy friends whose seemingly perfect evening begins to unravel, revealing old tensions, dark secrets and some spectacularly bad behaviour.

The film is produced by Andrew Berg and John Sachs of Eclipse Films alongside BAFTA-winning producer Josh Hyams of Promise Pictures.

Production is expected to take place in France, bringing Woods’ sharp and darkly comic screenplay to the screen.
