影片背景设定在20年代的伦敦，剧情将会聚焦伍尔芙与韦斯特之间的情事：弗吉尼亚·史蒂芬1912年嫁给伦纳德·伍尔夫，接着遇见了上流社会人士兼作家薇塔·萨克维尔·韦斯特——哈罗德·尼科尔森的妻子。自1922始，她们开启了一段长达十年的恋情，并维持着性关系，互通了很多情书和日记。在她们的恋情终结之后，两人仍保持着良好的朋友关系，直到1941年伍尔芙去世。 这将是Chanya Button自2015年《Burn Burn Burn》之后执导的第二部剧情长片，艾琳·阿特金斯编写剧本，根据她出演的同名舞台剧(1993年首次在伦敦上演，1994年登陆百老汇)改编，还会基于伍尔芙和韦斯特之间的情书进行创作。伊娃·格林和安德丽亚·瑞斯波罗格此前曾接触过伍尔芙这个角色，后相继退出。导演称这是一部“新鲜刺激，充满创造力、激情与性欲”的影片。其他卡司包括伊莎贝拉·罗西里尼、鲁伯特·彭利·琼斯、彼得·费迪南多，9月爱尔兰开拍。
Erstwhile Special Forces operative Doc Alexander is asked to broker a truce with the Mexican drug cartel in secrecy. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrates the execution of a high-ranking cartel member on TV, his Chief of Staff and Doc inform him about the peace he just ended. But it’s too late, as Cuco, the cartel’s hatchet man, has set his vengeful sights on Doc’s daughter Dixie. They don’t make ’em like Little Dixie anymore: honed to the bone, all gestures and actions, only a few words. Too many genre films these days try to create meaning by piling ideas and intentions on their narrative frames. John Swab, as always, works the other way around. Meaning and depth come from taking away whatever is superfluous – by reducing the plot to its bare essence and the characters to their core trades and tricks. Ultimately, Little Dixie feels like the pulp fiction version of a Giacometti sculpture, all fearful symmetries and mirror images. A gem of crime cinema at its purest and most philosophical, proudly featuring noir’s new darling, Frank Grillo.
