‘Fallout,’ Michael Douglas Starrer ‘Franklin’ and ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’: Canneseries Unveils Fashionably Eclectic Lineup


Canneseries unveils lineup of its 7th edition, including 'Fallout,' Michael Douglas starrer 'Franklin' and 'Becoming Karl Lagerfeld.'

The robust lineup, unveiled today by Canneseries’ artistic director Albin Lewi at a press conference in Paris, boasts the world premiere of Apple TV+’s “Franklin,” starring Michael Douglas as one of the Founding Fathers, and Disney +’s “Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” with Daniel Brühl as the acid-tongued designer. Among international premieres, “Idiocracy” meets “Day of the Dead” in Norway’s “Dumbsday,” where six strangers have to handle especially dim-witted zombies (aka “dumbies”) with hilarious results, while mother-daughter tensions will reach brand new highs in Danish “Dark Horse,” starring “Borgen’s” Birgitte Hjort Sørensen. This crime drama, sold by Fifth Season and produced by Magpie Pictures for SBS, is set in Melbourne, where twentysomething Elsie (Tanzyn Crawford) has to join forces with her hustler father Robert (“Fear the Walking Dead’s” Cliff Curtis) in order to save him.
