Colman Domingo Gives Update On 'Scandalous!' Directorial Debut With 'Euphoria' Co-Star Sydney Sweeney: 'A Beautiful, Sweet Film'
Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina Dies: Algerian Cannes Palme D'Or Winner Was 91
The film is based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz and also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte. Set in rural America, it is a portrait of a married woman's (Lawrence) mental disintegration as post-natal depression consumes and obliterates her. Pattinson plays Lawrence's husband, and Stanfield is her imagined lover.
Scandalous! is set to star Sydney Sweeney and David Jonsson. The plot will chart the explosive true story of a forbidden romance at the height of Hollywood's Golden Age. In 1957, Kim Novak (Sweeney), one of the biggest box office stars of her time and the luminous face of Vertigo, falls for Sammy Davis Jr. (Jonsson), the multi-talented Rat Pack sensation who defied boundaries of race and fame. Their affair, unfolding in the shadows of Jim Crow America, sparks a firestorm. With the mafia circling, studio heads panicking and even Frank Sinatra walking a tightrope between friendship and fallout, the stakes skyrocket. What begins as passion becomes peril.
193 has locked deals on the film in the following territories: Australia/New Zealand (Village Roadshow), Baltics (GPI), Benelux (Belga Films), Eastern Europe (Monolith Films), Greece (The Film Group), Israel (Forum Film), Italy (Rai Cinema), Latin America (Sun Distribution Group), Mongolia (FilmBridge), Philippines (Pioneer Films), Portugal (Pris Audiovisuais), Scandinavia (Nordisk Film), South Africa (Empire Entertainment), Spain (DeAPlaneta Entertainment), Turkey (Fabula Films) and the UK (Entertainment Film Distributors).
Also in Cannes this year 193 was selling The Surgeon, an original action film starring Michelle Yeoh written and directed by Roshan Sethi; and The Toxic Avenger, a comedic reimagining of Troma Entertainment's 1984 cult classic from director Macon Blair.
The Surgeon follows a retired surgeon (Yeoh) who is abducted and forced to operate on a mystery patient. Though greatly outnumbered, her captors have overlooked her greatest weapon: 35 years of surgical experience, leading to an explosive and brutal confrontation during which she outwits and cuts down her enemies in a completely novel visual style.
The film has sold to Australia/New Zealand (Umbrella Entertainment), Baltics (ACME Film), Benelux (18K), CIS (Unicorn Media), Eastern Europe (Unicorn Media), Greece (The Film Group), Israel (United King Films), Philippines (Pioneer Films), Portugal (NOS Audiovisuais), South Africa (Empire Entertainment), Spain (DeAPlaneta Entertainment) and Turkey (Fabula Films).
Blair also wrote the Toxic Avenger screenplay based on Lloyd Kaufman's original script. The film stars Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis and Taylour Paige and has been sold to Australia/New Zealand (Umbrella Entertainment), CIS (Golem Films), Germany/Austria (Wild Bunch AG), Greece (The Film Group), Israel (Golem Films), Italy (Eagle Pictures), Japan (Nikkatsu Corporation), Middle East (The Plot Pictures), Philippines (Pioneer Films), Poland (Vision Film), Scandinavia (NonStop Entertainment), South Africa (Empire Entertainment), Spain (Vertigo Films) and the UK (Signature Entertainment).
'We are immensely proud to see our slate resonate so strongly at Cannes,' 193 CEO Wachsberger said in a statement. 'Securing global sales on four high-profile films, one of which having already had a successful premiere, affirms the strength of our storytelling and the trust our global partners have placed in us. This is a fantastic start for our company and a signal of the compelling projects we will continue to deliver.'

Julianne Moore Talks About Being Drawn Into the ‘Stakes' of ‘Echo Valley' — and Expresses a Desire to Work with Wes Anderson
Julianne Moore attended the premiere of Apple Original's 'Echo Valley' on Wednesday, June 4 alongside her son Caleb Freundlich in their hometown of New York City. The Oscar-winning actor stars alongside Sydney Sweeney in Michael Pearce's latest film, written by 'Mare of Easttown' scribe Brad Inglesby. The story follows 'so much about this woman's life, about what she wants, what she's lost, what she's trying to hang on to, and I think that she's at a point where she really feels that she has nothing left to lose,' she told IndieWire. 'When you have stakes like that in a film, it's exciting. That's what I'm drawn to, isn't it?' More from IndieWire What Could Possibly Get 'Ferris Bueller' Star Mia Sara Back to Acting After a Decade Off? Mike Flanagan Calling Her Bluff Willem Dafoe Is a Summer Tenant Tormenting Corey Hawkins in 'The Man in My Basement' Teaser Director Pearce mused that working with Moore was one of his highlights of the project. 'Working with Julianne, someone that's so experienced, seeing her have the excitable energy of a 20-something-year-old actor who was on their first set, she was like that almost every day — I think that was just edifying,' he told us. 'As a director, you can get so neurotic and beaten by the process, and the schedule's hard, and you lose the location, or you didn't get a full scene, and you can walk in a bit broken,' he said. 'She was just a reminder each day about why we do it, that we're here to have fun, to play, and we should feel privileged to make movies. I think that's just something I think about, that however hard it is, it's like you're in a sandbox for adults.' As for Moore, she recently attended the Cannes premiere of Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme' on May 18. I asked her if she would ever be interested in working with the auteur and she said, 'I would. I think it would be so wonderful. Everybody's work is so stellar in that film.' As someone who has attended the festival upwards of a dozen times, the excitement doesn't wane. 'One of the exciting things about Cannes is that you stand there as the film premieres and you get to look at the actors and filmmakers' faces as it's happening and it's incredible.' Moore recently told us that she will indeed be showing off her vocal chops in Jesse Eisenberg's upcoming A24 musical, a follow-up to singing a little bit in 2021's 'Dear Evan Hansen': 'Yes, I am. I'm singing. We're all singing in it,' she said. 'Jesse Eisenberg is just the most extraordinary person,' she continued. 'He's so incredibly creative. I feel so fortunate to be able to work with him. This is very different, but I think that he can have sort of a satirical worldview. At the end of the day, he's got so much feeling. We're all very excited about it.' 'Echo Valley' premieres June 13 on Apple TV+. Check out the trailer below.

The inaugural awards ceremony will be held Oct. 24-26 at the Porto Montenegro venue in Tivat, Montenegro, which serves as the event's main partner.

'The new concept expands the scope to include awards for film achievements as well.' The Academy said it would bring together more than 500 film and television professionals from the region, many of whom have previously served as jury members for the Heart of Sarajevo Awards for TV Series. Voting will begin in June, with the nominations set to be unveiled during the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival, which takes place Aug. 15-22. 'The awards ceremony will gather leading regional talent, providing a platform for networking, experience-sharing, and the international promotion of regional cinema,' the organizers said.
