Movies starring the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, Michelle Yeoh as well as Peter Dinklage have sold wide during the recently closed Cannes Film Festival market.
193, the film production and global sales entity led by industry veteran Patrick Wachsberger which is a joint venture with Legendary Entertainment, said on Thursday that it sold four marquee films to various territories.
The movies are the Lynne Ramsay-directed Cannes competition title and psychological thriller Die My Love, starring Lawrence and Pattinson, upcoming historical drama Scandalous!, Colman Domingo’s directorial debut, starring Sweeney and David Jonsson, action film The Surgeon with Yeoh, written and directed by Roshan Sethi, as well as dark comedy The Toxic Avenger, a reimagining of the 1984 Troma Entertainment cult classic of the same name with an all-star cast including Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, and Jacob Tremblay. Toxic Avenger is directed by Macon Blair from a screenplay he wrote based on Lloyd Kaufman’s original script.
Previously unveiled during Cannes was a huge deal by arthouse distributor and streamer Mubi for Die My Love covering North America, Latin America, and the U.K.
“We are immensely proud to see our slate resonate so strongly at Cannes,” said 193 CEO Wachsberger. “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.”
