Actor Barry Keoghan is set to star in Oscar winning director Emerald Fennell’s next film, Saltburn, alongside Promising Young Woman star, Rosamund Pike.
Fennell has roped in Oscar-nominated actor Pike and Batman star Keoghan to lead her next feature film. Fennell, who won an Academy Award for best original screenplay for her directorial debut "Promising Young Woman", will write and direct the new project.
Keoghan posted on his Instagram Story the news, writing: “Let’s go”.
According to Deadline, the details about the film are scarce but sources said that it is titled 'Saltburn' and centres around a grand, aristocratic English family. It has been described as a story of obsession, while all other plot details have been kept under wraps.
The movie will start production later this year.

He recently was seen in Adrian Lyne’s feature Deep Water, opposite Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. Up next, Elordi stars opposite Zachary Quinto in the indie He Went That Way.
Keoghan most recently joined the DC Universe as The Joker in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, opposite Robert Pattinson.
