Anna Nicole Smith Biopic ‘Hurricanna' Heading To Cannes Market With Millennium Media & UTA

Millennium Media has boarded the project to handle international while UTA represents North American rights.
More from Deadline
Produced by producer Cassian Elwes (The Butler), Hurricanna is executive produced by Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor of BondIt Media Capital (Terrifier 3).
The film stars Holly Hunter, Mark Duplass, and Sylvia Hoeks. The plot follows the chaotic final 24 hours in the life of Anna Nicole Smith. Told from the fragmented and colliding perspectives of Smith, her psychiatrist, and her former lover, the film explores themes of fame, codependency, and self-destruction in a fractured American psyche.
Gregorini (Killing Eve) directs from a script by Rachel and Matt Sarnoff. The film was previously on sale in international territories with Sierra/Affinity.
'Francesca brings an intense and intimate lens to one of pop culture's most sensationalized figures,' Elwes said in a statement. 'Hurricanna is not a biopic—it's a pressure cooker character drama that interrogates fame, identity, and collapse with fearless precision.'
Cannes Market runs from May 13 to 21.

Étoile Cancelled After One Season at Amazon, Despite Two-Season Order
Étoile is taking its final bow, a little earlier than expected. Amazon's Prime Video has cancelled the Amy Sherman-Palladino ballet comedy after just one season, our sister site Deadline reports, despite Amazon giving the series a two-season order initially. The decision to cancel 'came down largely to performance vs. cost,' Deadline says. More from TVLine The Cleaning Lady, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Both Cancelled at Fox Daniel Dae Kim's Butterfly Spy Thriller Sets Amazon Release Date Casting News: Nicole Kidman Lands Yet Another Series, Power Reunion at Netflix and More Hailing from Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Sherman-Palladino, Étoile starred Luke Kirby (who played Lenny Bruce on Mrs. Maisel) as Jack McMillan, the artistic director of a prestigious New York ballet company. To drum up interest (and give flagging ticket sales a boost), Jack agrees to swap dancers with an equally renowned ballet company in Paris. (FYI: Étoile, pronounced āˈtwäl, is defined as a principal dancer in a ballet company.) Along with Kirby, the cast included Charlotte Gainsbourg (Call My Agent!), Gideon Glick (The Other Two), Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laâge (The Innocents) and David Alvarez (West Side Story). Additionally, Gilmore Girls veterans Yanic Truesdale (aka Michel) and Kelly Bishop (aka Emily Gilmore) appeared in recurring roles. Debuting in April with all eight episodes dropping at once, Étoile earned mostly positive reviews but failed to make a dent in the Nielsen streaming charts.
