Rosalía in Talks to Join Alma Har'el's New Film 'Wet'
Spanish Grammy-winning singer Rosalía is in negotiations to join "Wet," the upcoming film directed by Israeli filmmaker Alma Har'el. The film, described as a family drama set on a superyacht with comparisons to "Succession" and "Triangle of Sadness," is expected to begin filming in Spain early next year.
If the deal is finalized, Rosalía would star alongside a notable cast, including Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and Odessa A'zion, who are also in talks to join the project. Bardem's potential involvement is particularly noteworthy given his public criticisms of Israel in recent years, including signing a petition to boycott Israeli film institutions and appearing at the Emmy Awards with a keffiyeh.
Alma Har'el, an acclaimed Israeli-American director based in the U.S., gained recognition for her documentary "Bombay Beach" and her directorial debut feature "Honey Boy." She also directed the miniseries "Lady in the Lake" starring Natalie Portman.
Rosalía, a global music superstar known for albums like "LUX" and "Motomami," has had previous acting roles, including a small part in Pedro Almodóvar's "Pain and Glory" and a role in the third season of HBO's "Euphoria."
"Wet" was written by Har'el and Christian Stangby, based on Stangby's original screenplay. The film is being financed and produced by Fifth Season, alongside Har'el and producers Chris Leggett and Riva Marker.
