News > Michelle Williams joins Mammoth

Written by John Lichman

Michelle Williams has joined Gael Garcia Bernal in Mammoth, the first English-language film from Swedish director Lukas Moodysson.

The film follows a successful New York couple (Gael Bernal and Williams), their daughter and Filipino nanny.  Their lives all turn for the worse after the father goes on a business trip to the Philippines.  

Moodysson's a known festival name, as THR says, so it'll be interesting to see how he translates once he has an English release–especially with two performers like Gael Bernal and Williams going against each other. Although it is sort of odd to see them as an esteemed New York power couple.
