Canneseries Jury President Norman Reedus Pulls Out


Norman Reedus, 'Walking Dead' star and Canneseries jury president, has not come to cannes, while 'The Agency' opened the fest.

Last night’s Pink Carpet instead featured other members of the jury along with French actor Marie Colomb, who won the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award, a gong that last year went to Fallout’s Ella Purnell. They are overseeing a competition that includes Iceland’s Reykjavik Fusion starring Severance ‘s Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, who is making the trip, Norway’s A Better Man and South Korea’s S Line. Yesterday, artistic director Albin Lewi told us Canneseries has passed the test in recent years of “convincing American blockbusters to come” with flying colors, as he reeled off shows like Fallout, Silo and Franklin that have previously premiered at the fest.
