At the Cannes Film Festival, NEON has announced that it has obtained the North American distribution rights to Joachim Trier‘s latest movie, Sentimental Value, which will reunite the filmmaker with Renate Reinsve, star of The Worst Person in the World, and winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Eskil Vogt and Joachim Trier have penned the screenplay, and the movie will be released in theatres in 2025. The movie will be produced by Maria Ekerhovd, Andrea Berentsen Ottmar, Lizette Jonjic, Sisse Graum, Juliette Schrameck, Nathanaël Karmitz, Elisha Karmitz, Janine Jackowski and Jonas Dornbach. Principal photography will begin in August in Norway and France.
NEON is once again having a very busy Cannes Film Festival, picking up the North American rights to Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig, U.S. rights to Osgood Perkins’s The Monkey starring Theo James, and the worldwide rights to Osgood Perkins’ Keeper, starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, in addition to the North American rights to Julia Ducournau’s Alpha starring Golshifteh Farahani and The Unknown from Arthur Harari starring Léa Seydoux.
The studio has also just premiered Sean Baker‘s Anora, starring Mikey Madison, with the most overwhelmingly positive reviews of the festival after what’s been a fairly divisive week amongst critics. The film will premiere in cinemas later this year, with a date likely announced after the festival ends.
