According to Deadline, A24 has purchased the North American rights to distribute the upcoming Claire Denis film, “The Stars At Noon,” which will star Pattinson alongside up-and-coming actress Margaret Qualley. The film stars the two actors as a British businessman and American journalist, respectively, that strike up a torrid romance in 1984 Nicaragua. Things are going great until lies and conspiracies rock their relationship, forcing the duo to attempt to escape the country during a revolution, with only each other to rely on. The film is based on the novel by writer Denis Johnson.

This isn’t the first time that A24 worked with Denis on a project, having distributed the aforementioned “High Life.” No release date is hinted at, but it will likely be some time, as Pattinson is knee-deep in the long shoot for Warner Bros’ upcoming superhero film, “The Batman.” In addition, Qualley has a number of projects on her plate, including the recently announced horror film “A Head Full of Ghosts,” from director Scott Cooper.
