Kate Winslet continues her streak with HBO limited series. After her acclaimed performance as a detective in Mare Of Easttown, and her role in The Regime as a fictional dictator, she’s set to both produce and act in the adaptation of Trust, based on Hernan Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize-finalist novel. The project is gaining momentum, securing renowned director Todd Haynes, with whom Winslet had previously worked on Mildred Pierce in 2011.
Besides directing, Haynes will co-write the series alongside Jon Raymond. The production duty will be shared between Winslet, Diaz, and Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films. Trust will dive into the complexities of narrative control, weaving a tale through different perspectives, following a 1920s Wall Street magnate who seeks to shape the account of his life and dealings with his spouse, despite the unraveling truths a biographer uncovers.
Diaz’s novel uniquely presents the story through various lenses: a novelistic interpretation, an autobiography by the financier, a memoir from his ghostwriter, and a supposed diary entry by his wife Mildred. This multi-faceted narrative challenges readers to discern the truth among conflicting points of view.
Winslet and Haynes share a history of successful collaboration, demonstrated by their joint effort on Mildred Pierce, which garnered numerous Emmy nominations and wins. Haynes is also involved in an upcoming 1930s gay romance narrative, a project developed alongside Raymond and actor Joaquin Phoenix, with production slated for the summer.
