According to Baz Bamigboye of the British Daily Mail, actors Joe Alwyn, Andrew Garfield and Rooney Mara will star in the Remake ‘Brideshead Revisited‘ directed by Luca Guadagnino.
While at Oxford University, Ryder befriends the aristocratic Sebastian Flyte — the ‘half-heathen’, teddy‑bear-loving son of a Catholic family who reside at a baroque stately home called Brideshead.
Alwyn will be Sebastian (a role taken by Anthony Andrews in 1981), while his sister, Lady Julia — who comes between his friendship with Ryder — will be played by Rooney Mara.
Cate Blanchett and Ralph Fiennes are in talks to join the cast for the sumptuous mini-series, which will start filming in the spring at locations in the UK and Venice.
