‘Poor Things’ Producer Element Pictures Soars To A New Level With A Triple Bill Of Films For Cannes

The Irish-Anglo outfit has Yorgos Lanthimos's 'Kinds of Kindness', 'On Becoming A Guinea Fowl' & 'September Says' all in the 2024 Cannes selection.

But just when it feels like the company’s trajectory can’t get higher, the Irish-Anglo production, distribution and exhibition banner is hitting the Croisette this year with no less than three films in the Cannes official selection. Lanthimos’s latest Competition contender (both The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer competed for the Palme d’Or in 2015 and 2017, respectively) stars Stone and Dafoe along with Jesse Plemons, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie and Hunter Schafer. “It’s enabled us to double down on the things that we love doing, which is working with really talented filmmakers and helping them make the best version of their films,” he says, adding that the company has a “big development slate” on the TV side and is looking to build on the success it’s already had with productions like Normal People and Conversations with Friends.
