The Ice Tower (French: La Tour de glace) is an upcoming fantasy drama[2] film directed by Lucile Hadžihalilović from a screenplay she co-wrote with Geoff Cox.
Set in the 1970s, it stars Marion Cotillard as an actress who is shooting a film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen, in which she plays the title character.
At the same time, Jeanne, a runaway teenage orphan, takes refuge in the studio where the film is being shot and falls under Cristina's spell, and a mutual fascination grows between them.
On 20 March 2017, Cineuropa reported that Lucile Hadžihalilović was finishing the screenplay for her next film, La Reine des Neiges (The Snow Queen), which had been selected by Groupe Ouest as one of the eight projects that would benefit from a writing coaching programme in Brittany that year.
[13] Clara Pacini (in her first feature film),[14] August Diehl,[2] Gaspar Noé,[2] Lilas-Rose Gilberti Poisot,[15] Raphael Reboul,[9] Wilhelm Bonnelle, Marine Gesbert and Dounia Sichov later joined the cast.
