John Lithgow and Olivia Colman To Star In LGBT Drama 'Jimpa'

The Big Picture Olivia Colman and a bearded, tattooed John Lithgow have a tender reunion in the first look at Jimpa. The LGBT+ drama is currently filming in Amsterdam. Deadline has the first image from the film, featuring stars Lithgow and Colman, and reports that the film will be shopped at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

The film centers around Hanna and her trans non-binary teenager Frances , who go to visit Frances' gay grandfather, Jimpa , in Amsterdam. When Frances decided that they want to spend a year abroad with Jimpa, Hanna has to come to terms with the past. Jinpa will also star Daniel Henshall , Kate Box , Eamon Farren , Cody Fern , Tilda Cobham-Hervey , Deborah Kennedy , Hans Kesting , Zoë Love Smith , Romana Vrede , Jean Janssens , and Frank Sanders .

Where Can We See John Lithgow and Olivia Colman Next? Close After appearing in last year's acclaimed Martin Scorsese historical drama Killers of the Flower Moon and the anthology crime thriller Sharper, Lithgow has another busy year ahead of him. He can currently be seen in the faith-based biographical drama Cabrini, and will star in Edward Berger's Vatican City-set thriller Conclave later this year. He will also lend his voice to the Netflix animated film Spellbound.

This won't be Lithgow's first major LGBT role. In 2014, he starred with Alfred Molina in Love is Strange as a longtime gay couple who, upon getting married, find themselves having to seek alternate living arrangements. Collider's Matt Goldbergdid not care for the film, but praised Lithgow and Molina's performances, finding their chemistry to be the highlight of the movie.

Jimpa is currently filming in Amsterdam; no release date has yet been set. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
