With a fresh Leading Actress Oscar nomination for the role of Mollie Kyle in Martin Scorsese‘s Killers of the Flower Moon, Lily Gladstone is next set to enter sci-fi territory with upcoming movie The Memory Police—a move that will also reunite her with Scorsese, set to executive produce. “It’s on an unnamed island at an unnamed place, unnamed time,” Gladstone said of the new film, during a Q&A following a Killers of the Flower Moon screening in LA on Sunday. “So it takes place nowhere and therefore everywhere.” The Memory Police will be directed by Reed Morano (The Handmaid’s Tale, Meadowland), with a script from Charlie Kaufman, adapted from the Yōko Ogawa novel of the same name. “The adaptation is done by Charlie Kaufman,” Gladstone continued, “so it’s labeled as a sci-fi, but in the way that [Kaufman’s previous films] Eternal Sunshine [of the Spotless Mind] or Synecdoche [New York] was a sci-fi.
It happens very much in the subconscious mind and deals with, of course, themes of memory, authoritarianism.” In Ogawa’s novel, the story follows a writer living on an island controlled by a hidden force that causes people to collectively forget.
