Berlin’s Market Rocks to Big Star Project Tickets
Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett and Dave Bautista star in project packages at Berlin’s European Film Market.
A24 has a huge slate, led by “The Materialists,” from Celine Song, hot off “Past Lives”; Lionsgate will be selling AFM holdovers — “Highlander,” for instance — plus Idris Elba survival thriller “Above Below” and Renny Harlin’s “Strangers” trilogy.
