Production[edit]
In August 2016 it was revealed that Erin Cressida Wilson was adapting the novel Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh for Fox Searchlight and producer Scott Rudin.[6] The novel was ultimately adapted by Moshfegh and her husband Luke Goebel.[7] The mayor of Metuchen, New Jersey, Jonathan Busch, first confirmed that Anne Hathaway, Thomasin McKenzie, and Shea Whigham would have roles in the film.[8][9][10] Filming commenced in late 2021 in Metuchen with filming locations also including South Amboy, New Jersey.[11][12][13][14] It was one of a succession of productions that Hathaway was filming in New Jersey in 2021 and 2022.[15][16][17]
Principal photography on the production was completed in February 2022. It was confirmed that Owen Teague and Marin Ireland had been added to the cast and that Endeavor Content and WME Independent were selling distribution rights.[18] Author of the novel and the screenplay Moshfegh was quoted as saying it was "a very faithful adaptation of the tone" of her original work.[19] In June 2022 she confirmed the edit was locked-in and said that McKenzie as Eileen was "amazing. It's like she was born to play that role, she's just so exciting to watch. And Anne Hathaway plays Rebecca, the sort of femme fatale character. I mean, we're watching it again today and the first cut of it, I was like, 'This is so much better than my book.' So the movie is really satisfying, I'm excited about that."[20]
Release[edit]
It was previously reported that the film could be released in late 2022.[21][22] The film will premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.[4]
