The Power of the Dog is an upcoming internationally co-produced drama film written and directed by Jane Campion, based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Savage. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Thomasin McKenzie, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Frances Conroy. The film will be released on Netflix in 2021.[2]

Premise

In 20th-century Montana, a sadistic ranch owner launches a campaign against a young widow when she unexpectedly marries his brother and comes to live on the ranch.

Cast

Production

It was announced in May 2019 that Jane Campion was to write and direct the film with Benedict Cumberbatch and Elisabeth Moss cast to star.[3] Paul Dano entered negotiations to join the film in September.[4] He would be confirmed to star the next month, with Kirsten Dunst cast to replace Moss in her role.[5] However, by November, Dano also dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with The Batman. Jesse Plemons was cast to replace him.[6] In February 2020, Thomasin McKenzie, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Frances Conroy, Keith Carradine, Peter Carroll and Adam Beach joined the cast of the film.[7]

Filming began in New Zealand on January 10, 2020[8] in the southern region of Otago, including the city of Dunedin.[9] Production on the film was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although Cumberbatch, Dunst and Plemons reportedly remained in New Zealand during the country's lockdown. After border exemptions were granted for cast and crew, production resumed on June 22.[10]

Release

It is scheduled to have its world premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival in September 2021.[11]
