Bryan Singer Quietly Directs Jon Voight Drama Set During Israel’s Lebanon Occupation

Reports point to an imminent U.S. distribution pact following a secret 2023 shoot in Greece.

Overview

  • Sources who viewed a cut describe the period film as well made with awards-season potential while warning it could be highly polarizing for its portrayal of Israel during the Lebanon conflict.
  • The story is described as a father–son drama, with one source saying it follows an architect seeking redemption.
  • Variety reports that Israeli filmmaker Yariv Horovoitz is involved with the project.
  • A domestic distribution deal is said to be near, though no release plan has been announced and international and festival strategies remain unclear, including any potential Toronto market activity.
  • Singer has worked outside mainstream Hollywood since his 2017 firing from Bohemian Rhapsody amid long-running misconduct allegations he denies, and he is reportedly developing a self-financed documentary addressing those claims and his attempted comeback.
