EXCLUSIVE: Emmy winner Carrie Preston (The Good Fight) has signed on to star alongside Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph in the Miramax film The Holdovers, from two-time Oscar winner and seven-time nominee Alexander Payne (Nebraska, The Descendants).
The dramedy written by Whiskey Cavalier creator David Hemingson follows Paul Hunham (Giamatti), a teacher at a prestigious academy who nobody likes—not his students, not his fellow faculty, not the headmaster, who all find his pomposity and rigidity exasperating. With no family and nowhere to go over Christmas holiday in 1970, Paul remains at school to supervise students unable to journey home. After a few days, only one student holdover remains—a trouble-making 15-year-old named Angus, a good student whose bad behavior always threatens to get him expelled.
Joining Paul and Angus is the school’s head cook Mary (Randolph), who caters to sons of privilege and whose own son was recently lost in Vietnam. These three very different shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England. The real journey is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past—that they can choose their own futures.
Preston will play Lydia Crane, a cheerful, courteous, empathetic prep school office administrator who moonlights as a waitress. Lydia likes to have fun and is open to everyone. Her annual Christmas party brings all kinds of people together, including the lost and lonely. Hemingson, Mark Johnson and Bill Block are producing the film, which is currently in production in New England.

Carrie Brownstein will reportedly direct a new comedy film titled Witness Protection, with Schitt’s Creek star Annie Murphy locked in for the lead role.According to an April 11 Deadline report, the film will focus on Murphy’s as-yet-unnamed character, “a woman who has always defined herself by her romantic relationships” and who becomes embroiled in a situation that forces her into witness protection. There, “she must try to figure out who she really is for the first time while maintaining her cover and keeping the criminals at bay”.Murphy will also executive produce the film alongside her Schitt’s Creek crewmates Rupinder Gill and David West Read, who are also writing the screenplay.Witness Protection will come as Brownstein’s third film as a director, following MGM’s currently unreleased Fairy Godmother and a film about Seattle rockers Heart.
It’s interesting to see the pivot for writer/director Robert Eggers to go from things like “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” more atmospheric supernatural tales, to something so much larger in scale like his upcoming Viking revenge saga (budgeted at $90 million), “The Northman.” The pic, starring Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, releases later this month and is directly inspired by the original Scandinavian story that influenced William Shakespeare‘s beloved “Hamlet,” which is certainly why the new film’s plot will seem very familiar to folks.
