Actress Margaret Qualley has been gathering steam thanks to a breakout role as one of Charles Manson’s California cult in the Oscar-winning Quentin Tarantino film “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” and the Netflix drama series “The Maid” alongside her mother, Andy MacDowell. Now, she’s landed a role in a nifty period thriller set in Europe coming from streaming giant Amazon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Qualley is set to lead “The End of Getting Lost” in the role of Gina with Irish actor Paul Mescal (“Normal People”) in talks to play her character’s young husband, Duncan. It focuses on a married couple traveling through Europe during a possible honeymoon, as the story moves from the past and present, leading to the couple’s mysterious lives catching up with them after Gina suffers an accident.
Celebrated filmmaker Deniz Gamze Ergüven (“Mustang”) will direct the pic with Dakota Johnson as part of the producing team. The mysterious thriller is based on an upcoming novel penned by Robin Kirman, who will also adapt for the screen. THR also included the following synopsis for “The End of Getting Lost”:
“Set in 1990s Europe, the story follows a young married couple, Gina (Qualley) and Duncan (Mescal), on what Duncan claims is their honeymoon, but after Gina suffers a mysterious accident, the story begins to toggle between past and present — and husband and wife — to uncover a portrait of love’s power and dangers. As the two-hop borders across Europe, their former lives threaten to catch up with them while the truth grows more elusive.”
Mescal most recently had a role in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut “The Lost Daughter” led by Olivia Colman, which also starred Johnson. Qualley just wrapped work on Claire Denis’ “Stars At Noon” opposite Joe Alwyn.
