The wheels have started to turn on Frank Ocean‘s first-ever film project. Per Variety, Ocean has started shooting his directorial debut film down in Mexico City.
While mostly everything about the indie film still remains under wraps – plot details, a release timeline, casting information, what have you – UK actor David Jonsson is confirmed to step into the film’s lead role. Jonsson has recently starred in Alien: Romulus and Rye Lane.
As expected, the enigmatic Ocean has remained rather far from the spotlight in recent years since dropping Blonde, stepping into the limelight only for a one-day-only Coachella performance in 2023, the launch of his Homer jewelry line and the release of his 48-page photobook Mutations.
He hasn’t released a new studio track since “Dear April (Side A – Acoustic)” and “Cayendo (Side A – Acoustic)” in 2020.
Stay tuned as more updates on Ocean’s directoral debut transpire.
