Headed to Cannes next month is the new movie from French filmmaker Julia Ducournau, who has made quite a splash already with her films Raw (2016) and Titane (2021).
Ducournau’s new movie is titled Alpha, described by The Hollywood Reporter as being “a 1980s-set shocker that follows an 11-year-old girl who is rejected by her classmates after it is rumored she has been infected with a new disease.” Check out a first look image above.
NEON has picked up the North American rights to the upcoming movie. Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone) and Tahar Rahim (“The Serpent”) will star in Alpha.
“Alpha is Julia’s most personal, profound work yet, and we are looking forward to a global audience discovering the story with as much excitement as we did,” FilmNation Entertainment and Charades said in a statement. “We can’t wait to bring the film to market in Cannes and to launch sales together for the first time and collaborate in this way.”
“Alpha is a new page in Julia Ducournau’s corpus that is both very consistent with the previous ones and entirely new in its tone,” the producers said. “To match an exceptional project, it was necessary to transcend conventions, as evidenced by the exceptional combination of producers on one hand and international sales companies on the other.”
