The first provocative image from Brian De Palma‘s new film Passion starring Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams has been released. The image, which can be seen above, features a steamy scene between our two lead actresses as well as some interesting visual juxtaposition.
Passion is based on the Alain Corneau’s 2010 French film Love Crime which starred Ludivine Sagnier and Kristin Scott-Thomas, it will also mark De Palma’s first time stepping behind the camera since 2007. From what we know about it so far, it looks like it will be a sexually charged thriller with some brave performances.
For those of you unfamiliar with the plot, check out the summary below.
“The film tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily exploited, her admiring protégé Isabelle is full of cutting-edge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They’re on the same team, after all… Christine takes pleasure in exercising control over the younger woman, leading her one step at a time ever deeper into a game of seduction and manipulation, dominance and humiliation. But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine’s lovers, war breaks out. On the night of the murder, Isabelle is at the ballet, while Christine receives an invitation to seduction. From whom? Christine loves surprises. Naked she goes to meet the mystery lover waiting in her bedroom…”
