The film would’ve premiered at Cannes this year, but the event’s delay and downsizing likely mean “Annette” will show up at later fall fests. If they happen.
Carax’s “Annette,” which is now filming with stars Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, is a curious case of casting musical chairs.
Adam Driver plays the villain in “Star Wars,” but he’s an actual hero in real life.
The romantic musical is still in need of a leading lady, once rumored to be played by Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams, and Rihanna.
Carax’s English-language debut was recently purchased by Amazon and is expected to start shooting soon.
The actress had previously been attached to the drama from the “Holy Motors” director, which also stars Adam Driver.
Amazon Studios has acquired the U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to the musical drama.
