The report from Deadline indicates that filming is anticipated to occur in Ireland, commencing towards the close of this year or the start of 2026.

In addition to acting in the film, Blunt will also take on a producing role under her Ledbury Productions label. Denis O’Sullivan and Jeff Kalligheri from Compelling Pictures will collaborate with her, handling production and financing for the project.

Conor McPherson is set to write the screenplay, and John Crowley from the film We Live in Time is currently discussing the possibility of directing it.

Claire Keegan’s captivating short story is about to be transformed into a film, and I’m thrilled to be part of this journey! I’m indebted to our talented team for making the development process such an enchanting experience so far.

In the upcoming film, Blunt and O’Sullivan, who had previously collaborated on “The Young Victoria” by Jean-Marc Vallée in 2009, will reunite for the project.

O’Sullivan expressed delight at collaborating with Emily once more, a feeling that has arisen since our past project, “The Young Victoria,” together with the late Jean-Marc Vallée. We are all eager in anticipation of Claire’s captivating narrative and Conor’s beautiful adaptation. Moreover, there is no director who stirs raw emotion and warmth on the big screen like John Crowley.

In other locations, Blunt is now shooting the highly anticipated follow-up to the movie “The Devil Wears Prada“, scheduled for a premiere in May 2026. The actress will once more take on her memorable character Emily Charlton, while Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly) and Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs) are set to reappear as well.
