Make Room For Alessandro Nivola

Extremely happy-making news today with the word that one of our favorite actors Alessandro Nivola has just joined the cast of Pedro Almodovar's new movie The Room Next Door! He joins the previously announced trio of Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore, and John Turturro -- funny enough when I last posted about this movie about a week ago, I mentioned that it was already a Gloria Bell reunion thanks to the presence of Moore & Turturro; Nivola wasn't in Gloria Bell but he did give what I consider his greatest performance in a different Sebastián Lelio film, 2017's Disobediance. So Almodóvar's English-language debut feature film is turning into a total Lelio-fest (if only Tilda had worked with him) which I am totally down for. Anyway no word on what role Nivola is playing here, but I think we can rest assured that Pedro will know what to do with him.
