The two have joined an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” for New York Theatre Workshop in Manhattan, according to the company’s announcement Tuesday. 

Staging the Chekhov production is Tony award-winning Sam Gold, who directed Isaac in the title role of “Hamlet” and Gerwig in “The Village Bike.” The play details life in a Russian town through the eyes of the Prozorov sisters. After their father dies and just as the Imperial Army take their post in the town, the sisters yearn to return to Moscow to escape their dull lives in the small town.

Gerwig was Oscar-nominated for Lady Bird and she recently wrapped production on her second directorial project, Little Women, starring Saoirse Ronin, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Eliza Scanlen and Florence Pugh.

Isaac is best known for his roles in films such as X-Men: Apocalypse and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The production is expected to close the New York Theater Workshop’s 2019/20 season.

Should he join, he will star opposite Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, and Charlotte Rampling. Issac is in talks to star as Duke Leto Atreides, which could mean he would play Chalamet’s on-screen father. Ferguson has been cast as Chalamet’s mother, Lady Jessica, while Skarsgard has been cast as the family’s enemy Baron Harkonnen.

The reboot hails from Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. Villeneuve will also co-write the script with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. 

The reboot is a big-screen adaptation to the 1965 science-fiction novel by Frank Herbert. The first (failed) attempt, however, to adapt the novel belongs to director Alejandro Jodorowsky in the ‘70s. A successful attempt came in 1984 from David Lynch. The most recent adaptation came in 2000 in the form of a mini-series for SyFy.
