Will Splashy Projects From Olivia Wilde, Cynthia Erivo and Harris Dickinson Help the Cannes Market Get Its Mojo Back?
Cannes is banking on big projects from Olivia Wilde, Cynthia Erivo and Harris Dickinson to help it get its groove back after a slow Sundance.
The box office hasn’t returned to pre-COVID levels, streamers and studios are cutting back their spending and deals of the sort that Olsson and others flock to the South of France to secure are harder to land. These include festival premieres such as “Nouvelle Vague,” Richard Linklater’s look at the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless,” and “Urchin,” a drama about a drifter that marks Harris Dickinson ‘s feature directing debut. There’s also a number of promising films that are looking for studio support before their cameras roll, such as “The Invite,” Olivia Wilde ‘s follow-up to “Don’t Worry Darling”; “Prima Facie,” an adaptation of a Tony-winning play with Cynthia Erivo; and “Bunker,” a thriller from “The Father” director Florian Zeller that stars Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz.
