Dakota Fanning & Jake Johnson in Alaska! New Romantic Drama Revealed!
Get ready for a chilly romance! Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Cory Michael Smith are set to star in an untitled romantic drama directed by indie darling Joe Swanberg. The film, shrouded in mystery, will be set against the stunning backdrop of Alaska.
Swanberg Returns to Features After Years Away
Joe Swanberg, a key figure in the mumblecore movement, is making his return to feature filmmaking after an eight-year hiatus. Known for his lo-fi, dialogue-driven style, Swanberg's films often feature improvisation and naturalistic performances. While not every film has been a hit, he's delivered gems like "Drinking Buddies," "Win it All," "Happy Christmas," and "Hannah Takes the Stairs."
Alaska: The Perfect Setting for Romance?
Details about the plot are being kept tightly under wraps, but the Alaskan setting promises breathtaking visuals and a unique atmosphere. This project will mark Swanberg's fourth collaboration with Jake Johnson, following their work on "Drinking Buddies," "Digging for Fire," and "Win It All."
Fanning is coming off the success of Netflix's "The Perfect Couple" and her Emmy nomination for "Ripley". She is also set to team up with her sister, Elle Fanning, to produce and star in the adaptation of "The Nightingale", scheduled for release in 2027.
