Kirsten Dunst Replaces Elisabeth Moss in Jane Campion Film

Kirsten Dunst has joined the cast of the upcoming movie The Power of the Dog, which will be released by Netflix in 2021.

The film will be directed by Jane Campion and Elisabeth Moss was originally set to star in it, but she had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with The Handmaid’s Tale, according to Variety.

The outlet reports that the movie “follows two wealthy brothers who are polar opposites. Paul Dano portrays a man who is fastidious and gentle, while his brother, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is brilliant and cruel. They are joint owners of the biggest ranch in the Montana valley. When Dano’s character secretly marries a local widow (Dunst), Cumberbatch wages a sadistic, relentless war to destroy her by using her son as a pawnpo.”

The movie will be released in both theaters and on Netflix’s streaming service.
