Topic / Subject
Alice Rohrwacher is set to direct an adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s illustrated novella “The Three Incestuous Sisters,” with a prestige cast led by Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan, Jessie Buckley, and Josh O’Connor.

TL;DR
Wild title, serious package. Rohrwacher plus Ottessa Moshfegh and that cast makes this an instant “festival radar” project, even with no date yet.

Key Details
• Per Deadline, Alice Rohrwacher will direct an adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s illustrated novella “The Three Incestuous Sisters.”
• Per Deadline, Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan, Jessie Buckley, and Josh O’Connor are set to star.
• Reporting says Rohrwacher co-wrote the screenplay with novelist Ottessa Moshfegh.
• The source material is described as a 2005 illustrated gothic tale centered on three sisters in an isolated seaside setting.
• No release date, distributor, or production start has been confirmed in the cited coverage.

Breakdown
The headline grabber is the title, but the story here is the creative team. Rohrwacher is a major auteur name, and pairing her with Moshfegh signals a very specific tone.

The casting is also a clear statement. Johnson, Ronan, Buckley, and O’Connor reads like a high end indie dream board, not a normal studio casting grid.

Right now, it is more “announcement heat” than “calendar certainty.” With no distributor or date mentioned in the intake, this is one to track through production updates and festival positioning.

What to Watch Next
• Any distributor pickup announcement
• Production start timing and shooting location details
• First look images, if any are released
• Whether it targets Cannes, Venice, or Toronto, based on timing
