Joanna Hogg reportedly working on Robert Pattinson #TheSouvenir: Part II
As we know, The Souvenir: Part I will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on 27 January 2019. According to Sundance Institute:
Hogg … is currently working on the second part of The Souvenir starring Robert Pattinson, Tilda Swinton, and Honor Swinton-Byrne.
IMDbPro has also updated the cast list since the last time I checked by including Tilda Swinton and Honor Swinton Byrne. Rob and Tilda in a film ticks off another bucket list duo for me.
UPDATED:
A24 has secured North American rights for The Souvenir: Part II. According to Deadline:
After A24 last month acquired the Sundance-bound film The Souvenir, the distributor has closed a North American rights deal for director Joanna Hogg’s sequel, The Souvenir – Part 2. A24 unveils the first film with its world premiere Sunday here at Sundance, before the film plays in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival in February.

Production on The Souvenir – Part 2 will take place this summer, with Hogg writing and directing. Reprising their roles from the first film are Honor Swinton Byrne, Tilda Swinton, Ariane Labed and Richard Ayoade. The film is an Element Pictures/JWH Films production.…
The first film is set in a film industry milieu. Between script pitches and camera setups, a quiet film student (Swinton Byrne) hosts a film-school cohort party where she meets a mysterious man (Burke) who days later invites her to a grand hotel and asks to stay with her for a few days. It’s her first serious love affair and she ignores her friends and borrows large amounts of money from her parents, surrendering to the relationship and her new love’s needs. It’s based on Hogg’s actual experience.
