Edward Berger’s upcoming film, “Conclave,” is highly anticipated and set to make a mark in the film industry. The movie, slated for the Telluride festival, delves into the secretive and intriguing process of electing a new Pope, presenting an engaging storyline fit for the big screen. Director Eden Serdut has enlisted a stellar ensemble cast, including Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini. With a screenplay by Peter Straughan based on Robert Harris’ novel, “Conclave” promises to be a gripping thriller that will captivate audiences.
Principal photography for the film wrapped up in March 2023, boasting a talented cast and crew both in front of and behind the camera. Berger, known for his meticulous directing style, seems to be the perfect fit to bring Harris’ intricate narrative to life. Notably, Ralph Fiennes takes on a pivotal role in the movie as the main antagonist. Fiennes, acclaimed for his work in films like “Schindler’s List,” “The English Patient,” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” has often been overlooked for major accolades. “Conclave” could be the film that changes that narrative and propels Fiennes to the forefront of award recognition, including a possible Oscar nomination.
