Plot

Set in the Netherlands in the early 17th century, during the period of the tulip mania, an artist (Dane DeHaan) falls for a married young woman (Alicia Vikander) while he's commissioned to paint her portrait by her husband (Christoph Waltz). The two invest in the risky tulip market in hopes to build a future together.

Cast

Production

The film was originally planned to be made in 2004, with Jude Law and Keira Knightley as lead actors and John Madden as director. However, the production was halted as a result of changes in tax rules affecting film production in the UK.[3]

On 8 July 2013, the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reported that Justin Chadwick would direct the film with Alicia Vikander attached to star in the role of Sophia and that Matthias Schoenaerts was being sought for the male lead. Bamigboye reported that Chadwick together with producers Alison Owen and Harvey Weinstein, decided to cast Vikander for the film.[4][5]

In 2014, Alison Owen partnered with Harvey Weinstein to restart the film after re-acquiring the rights to the film from Paramount Pictures.[6]Steven Spielberg had originally offered to buy the film rights.[7] In October 2013, Dane DeHaan was in talks to join the cast.[8][9] In February 2014, Christoph Waltz joined the cast.[10] In April 2014, Holiday Grainger, Cara Delevingne, and Jack O’Connell joined the cast.[11][12][13] In June 2014, Judi Dench was cast as The Abbess of St. Ursula, who takes in orphaned children.[14] That same month Tom Hollander, Cressida Bonas, and David Harewood joined the cast.[15] and David Harewood.[16][17] In August 2014, Matthew Morrison joined.[18] Deborah Moggach author of the novel also appears in the film.[7]

The crew of Tulip Fever includes cinematographer Eigil Bryld, production designer Simon Elliott, costume designer Michael O’Connor, hair and make-up designer Daniel Phillips and editor Rick Russell.[19] Tom Stoppard has adapted the screenplay for the film.[20] The London-based Welsh portrait artist Jamie Routley did the original portraits that are seen in the film.[21] Danny Elfman composed the film's score.[22]

Filming

Filming took place at Cobham Hall in Cobham, Kent, Norwich Cathedral,[17] Holkham (in Norfolk),[23] Tilbury, (in Essex), Kentwell Hall (in Suffolk) and at Pinewood Studios on various dates throughout June and July in 2014.[24]

Release

Footage from the film was screened in May 2015 at the Cannes Film Festival.[25] In December 2015, the first image of the film featuring Alicia Vikander and Christoph Waltz was released.[26] The film was originally scheduled to be released on July 15, 2016[27] but was delayed until February 24, 2017,[28] with rumors of re-editing, as Harvey Weinstein was "unhappy" with the final cut.[29][30]
