Production



Development

In April 2021, it was announced that Roman Polanski would direct 'The Palace', a black comedy about guests at the Gstaad Palace on New Year's Eve 1999. Polanski co-wrote the screenplay with fellow Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski, who also co-wrote Polanski's first feature, 'Knife in the Water' (1962). Luca Barbareschi produced the film, under Eliseo Entertainment, alongside RAI Cinema, CAB Productions, and Lucky Bob.

In April 2022, Mickey Rourke, Joaquim de Almeida, John Cleese, Oliver Masucci, Fanny Ardant, Fortunato Cerlino, and Alexander Petrov were cast to star in the film, while Alexandre Desplat and Pawe Edelman served as composer and cinematographer, respectively. Wild Bunch sold the film for distribution in Germany and Spain during the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Barbareschi said he struggled to find financiers in France, where Polanski is based and most of his previous films were produced. Herv de Luze and Carlo Poggioli served as editor and costume designer, respectively.

Filming

Principal photography commenced in February 2022 at the Gstaad Palace in Gstaad, Switzerland, and wrapped in June. Filming was originally set to begin in late 2021.

Release



'The Palace' is set to be released theatrically in Europe in November 2022, before an Italian theatrical release by 01 Distribution in January 2023.
