‘Fingernails’: Read The Screenplay For Christos Nikou’s Surreal Look At Love That Pulls Out All The Stops
deadline.comDeadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Fingernails, the Apple Original Films sci-fi love story of sorts that marks the English-language debut of Greek writer-director Christos Nikou.
It came off the success of his debut pic Apples, which was Greece’s submission to last year’s Oscar race. Fingernails, which features a cast including Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, Jeremy Allen White, Luke Wilson and Annie Murphy, premiered at this year’s Telluride Film Festival and hit theaters and Apple TV+ earlier this month.
It reunites the Apples executive producing team of Nikou and Dirty Films and partners Cate Blanchett, Coco Francini and Andrew Upton.
FilmNation Entertainment’s Lucas Wiesendanger is also a producer. The script was penned by Nikou and his Apples co-screenwriter and pal Stavros Raptis, joined by UK scribe Sam Steiner after Nikou read Steiner’s script for Morning (now in development with Justin Kurzel).
