British star Jodie Comer to topline feminist survival drama The End We Start From

British star Jodie Comer is onboard to play the lead role in an upcoming thriller movie, titled The End We Start From.

The movie will be produced by actor Benedict Cumberbatch's production banner along with SunnyMarch, Hera Pictures, Anton, and BBC Film, reported Deadline.


Adapted from the novel of the same name by author Megan Hunter, the film will be directed by Mahalia Belo from a script by Alice Birch.

The End We Start From is touted as a feminist survival story, set amid an environmental crisis that sees London submerged by floodwaters. It follows a young family torn apart in the chaos. Comer will play a mother who with her newborn child tries to find a way home, navigating the most challenging and apocalyptic start to motherhood.

Cumberbatch will serve as an executive producer on the project alongside Comer, Anton's Sebastien Raybaud, Cecile Gaget, and BBC Film's Eva Yates.

Comer most recently starred in Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" and "Free Guy", opposite Ryan Reynolds.

She also picked up her second BAFTA award for the British drama film "Help". The actor had earlier won a BAFTA award for best actress for her smash hit series Killing Eve.

Kajol caught in a storm of criticism for saying actors endure more stress than office workers

Highlights:

  • The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
  • She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
  • Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
  • The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
  • Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.

Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.
