このコンテンツについて
Willem Dafoe has kept the global stage vibrant with his inimitable presence this past week, seamlessly blending high art, commercial allure, and deep cultural relevance. The biggest headline making waves: Dafoe was just confirmed as the lead, alongside Sandra Hüller, in Kent Jones’s new drama "Late Fame." Variety reports Dafoe will play Ed Saxberger, an aging poet rediscovered by a new generation, in a role that promises both sharp irony and poignant introspection—the sort of career-defining performance that underscores his reputation for tackling complex, unconventional characters.
Simultaneously, Dafoe is radiating through the worlds of both cinema and spirits, as Laphroaig Scotch Whisky rolled out their signature Unphorgettable campaign featuring none other than Dafoe himself. The global campaign launches with a whimsical short film "The Taste," in which Dafoe’s offbeat humor and cinematic gravitas are on full display—impressively, this marks Laphroaig’s first celebrity partnership in its more than 200-year history. The campaign even teases a limited-edition Dafoe whisky set for release in 2026, conceived in collaboration with Laphroaig’s senior whisky maker Sarah Dowling, further blurring the lines between Dafoe’s artistic legacy and discerning brand identity.
In the theater world, Dafoe is making history as the artistic director of the 2025 Venice Theatre Biennale, a prestigious post that grants him curatorial power over one of Europe’s most influential cultural gatherings. Dafoe’s inaugural Biennale, themed "Theatre is Body. Body is Poetry," opened with a stirring revival of "Symphony of Rats" by The Wooster Group, encapsulating his mission to celebrate the intelligence and poetry of the human body in the age of artificial intelligence. His programming brings together top international visionaries, and Dafoe’s remarks at the Biennale’s opening have already sparked discussion across arts media about theater’s essential power in the digital era.
On the film festival circuit, Dafoe’s star power continues to shine. He’s a marquee name at the upcoming New York Film Festival with "Late Fame," and set to be a special guest at this year’s Lisboa Film Festival in November. Meanwhile, his acclaimed past work is hitting new audiences, with the British Film Institute featuring "The Florida Project," anchored by his Oscar-nominated performance, in their November streaming line-up.
For fans and followers online, Dafoe remains a trending topic, particularly as his Laphroaig campaign circulates widely on social media, with fans praising his uniquely bold and quirky approach in the promotional film. Speculation is also rippling through filmmaker circles as Dafoe signals intent to reunite with director Robert Eggers, famed for "The Lighthouse" and the upcoming "Nosferatu," though details remain unconfirmed.
