Production[edit]
In March 2015, TriStar Pictures acquired Kristin Hannah's book The Nightingale and hired Ann Peacock to write the script and Elizabeth Cantillon to produce.[1][2] On August 11, 2016, TriStar hired Michelle MacLaren to direct and re-write with John Sayles, until MacLaren left before production shutdown.[3]
In December 2019, Mélanie Laurent signed on to direct from a script by Dana Stevens with Cantillon still attached to produce. Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning were set to co-star as the sisters.[4]
Principal photography was set to begin on October 26, 2020, with scenes to be shot in Budapest, Hungary and Los Angeles, California,[5] but Laurent put the project on hold less than a week before shooting was to commence to direct The Mad Women's Ball instead,[6] intending to return to The Nightingale as her next film.[7] In September 2021, Laurent commented on the film's status and the delayed production, "It's super hard for us to find another date and to make everybody on board at the same time, so it's a mess."[8]
Release[edit]
On June 23, 2017, TriStar scheduled the film to be released on August 10, 2018.[9] On March 2, 2020, TriStar pushed the film to December 25, 2020.[10] On April 24, 2020, TriStar briefly removed the film from the release calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] On April 30, 2020, TriStar rescheduled the film to be released on December 22, 2021.[12] On February 19, 2021, TriStar pushed the film again to December 23, 2022.[13] On October 22, 2021, TriStar removed the film from the release calendar.[14]
In April 2021, Netflix and The Walt Disney Company signed a deal with Sony for the right to exclusively stream and broadcast on Disney's linear television networks for upcoming films, including The Nightingale, after their theatrical and home media windows.[15][16]
