Mick Jagger is set to star in Italian director Alice Rohrwacher’s adaptation of U.S. author Audrey Niffenegger’s novel “Three Incestuous Sisters,” alongside previously announced cast members Dakota Johnson, Josh O’Connor, Saoirse Ronan, Jessie Buckley and Isabella Rossellini.
The Rolling Stones frontman touched down in a helicopter earlier this week on the volcanic island of Stromboli, off the coast of Sicily, where Rohrwacher’s gothic drama is shooting, according to an inside source who confirmed Italian press reports. He is staying in a villa on the island where Isabella Rossellini’s father Roberto Rossellini in 1949 famously began his scandalous affair with her mother Ingrid Bergman on the set of his film by the same title.
“Three Incestuous Sisters” marks the first English-language feature by Rohrwacher who is a two-time Cannes prizewinner with “The Wonders” (2014) and “Happy as Lazzaro.” The buzzy film is based on Niffenegger’s illustrated gothic novel about three sisters living in isolation, whose relationship is disrupted by the arrival of a lighthouse keeper’s son. Other plot details are being kept under wraps.According to unconfirmed Italian press reports, Jagger is playing the lighthouse keeper whose son is being played by Josh O’Connor.
