Despite the fact that Carrie Fisher passed away almost seven years ago (on December 27, 2016), there was still a project with her in the lead role: the movie “Wonderwell”. Barely six weeks after canning the print, the world had to unexpectedly say goodbye to the Star Wars legend, causing the film to be delayed. The visual effects also took a lot of time and the corona pandemic threw a spanner in the works. But now, the time has finally come: The print edition will be released in the US on June 23. The film is described as “a fairy tale set between contemporary Italy and a fantasy world” and none other than singer Rita Ora stars alongside Carrie Fisher.
Director Vlad Marsavin has only fond memories of their collaboration. “Carrie was full of energy during filming and even celebrated her 60th birthday with us in Italy. After a night shot, she invited the whole team to celebrate with her, after which the police had to shut it down because it was “too loud,” he told Deadline. Her death was very emotional for him. To the whole team.” Known worldwide for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the Star Wars film series, Fisher was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 4, 2023.
“Wonderwell” will be released from June 23, 2023.
“Friendly communicator. Music trailblazer. Internet maven. Twitter buff. Social mediaholic.”
