Feist and Cillian Murphy to Appear in New Kevin Drew Film

Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew was so inspired by Feist’s song “The Water,” from her 2007 album The Reminder, that he adapted it into a short film starring Cillian Murphy, David Fox, and Feist. The singer reportedly plays a love interest to one of the other characters.

“Kevi told me one day that he wanted to make a film for ‘The Water,’ and he knew he needed Cillian’s blue eyes and David’s brown ones and that it was going to be a fairytale,” Feist told Paste Magazine. “It felt like a cross between a book I read as a kid called The Snow Queen, a silent film and a long walk in the woods with snow crunching under your feet.”

The film was shot last January in Toronto and is currently being submitted for film festival consideration.
