French filmmaker Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane) is back with new genre movie Alpha, and Vanity Fair has debuted a small handful of first look images this afternoon.
“Alpha comes from this love that I have for this very transitional, uncomfortable space,” Ducournau tells the outlet. “It’s a way to expose myself more—and to expose yourself more, I hope, in the same way.” Head over to Vanity Fair to read the full profile for more insights.
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 coming to theaters in Fall 2025, with no release date set at this time.
In the film, “Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.”
“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.”
