Another day, another production! Over the last few years, Wild Rose Country has become a hotspot for Hollywood bigwigs and this summer has been no exception.

From The Abandons to My Life With the Walter Boys, the province has seen plenty of lights, cameras, and action – but movie buffs should keep their eyes open for two YA icons as they start filming Die, My Love—a new dramedy directed by Lynne Ramsay.

Based on the Ariana Harwicz novel of the same name, the upcoming movie will follow a widowed mother struggling to “maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis.”

The book, originally written in Spanish, was a Man Booker International Prize Finalist in 2018 and has now been adapted for the big screen with a few well-known names attached.
